Adorable Piglet Cutely Begging for Salad Will Melt Your Heart [Video]

In many ways, pigs are the unsung heroes of the animal world. They are by nature curious, intelligent, and inquisitive. In various scientific experiments, they have demonstrated an ability to play video games, understand how mirrors work, and differentiate between different drawings they had produced. Professor Donald Bloom of Cambridge University Veterinary School once said, “Pigs have the cognitive ability to be quite sophisticated. Even more so than dogs and certainly three-year-olds.”

Sadly, pigs are usually regarded as nothing more than a food source. Few people ever think of keeping one as a companion animal – but as this one-and-a-half minute YouTube video proves, these animals can be just as quirky, adorable, and eager for attention as any dog!

The piglet in this clip is determined to win himself a share of his guardian’s salad, come hell or high water. Check him out as he grunts at his guardian, eyeballs her, and sticks his nose in the air to get her attention. We guarantee you will be overwhelmed by the cuteness!
