The girl adopted a pet pig and slept in the same bed with it

Great love knows no species

Alexis, a 23-year-old American girl, has adopted a cute little pig and even sleeps in the same bed with him, Metro UK reported. Alexis has wanted a pet pig for as long as she can remember, and now her dream has come true after she adopted an eight-week-old mixed-breed pig named Petunia in April. The 16.3kg pig sleeps next to his owner at night and even has a room all to himself. Alexis said: "I was fascinated by Petunia. He sleeps with me a few nights a week. At first I wasn't used to it. Petunia liked to steal my pillow and lean against me, so I couldn't move. I had to push it away. Petunia's body is much warmer than a human's, but he doesn't like baths and is afraid of them, so I wash him down outdoors with soap. A lot of people thought I was crazy, especially when I let a pig sleep in my bed."

Alexis has always wanted a pig and now she has Petunia. 'Petunia hasn't grown up yet and I really hope he doesn't get too big, he's up to my knees now and he's quite short and his parents are quite short too.'

Petunia is a very clever pig with a litter box and blanket in the room, it took him only two days to learn to use the litter box and he will come whenever he is called. Alexis said, "Pigs are very smart animals. I have to put him in a small space where he can eat, sleep and poop. Petunia likes acorns and other foods and likes to eat grass outside."

Petunia is very naughty. "If he goes quiet, I know he's up to something," Alexis said. He steals food, messes up the living room and kicks over trash cans. Petunia spends a lot of time outside grazing. If I do something he doesn't like, he gets aggressive sometimes, but the whole thing is good. If he's outside, he'll come running when I call him. If I put my hand out, he will press his nose against mine."

There are so many things we can say about pets, especially with so many pet owners these days. The way pets get along with us is just like the way children get along with themselves. Therefore, the relationship between pets and us is also very deep, because we are not only accompanied in life, but also emotionally. Especially nowadays, people will feel more and more lonely, maybe because of the social living environment. So keeping pets can help us reduce this feeling of loneliness.

People and animals are all members of this nature. The difference between people and animals is just a little higher, one has not evolved to have the ability to think, but all have a common: emotion.

Don't think that only people have emotions, in fact, people's emotions are complex, sometimes friendly, sometimes have evil thoughts. Because inside each of us lives a beast that changes with the environment.

Animal emotion, is simple, as long as you have no evil thoughts, no harm to its behavior, they can do and people get along harmoniously. More and more people start to keep pets, in the early morning and evening, we can see a lot of people take their dogs out for a walk. The relationship between pets and pooper officials seems simple, but in fact it is mysterious. They are not simple subordination. In fact, they rely on each other's soul.

Animals most of the time is the prey of people, because people are senior carnivores, no one dare to eat, so the animals in the world are less and less, even the fierce tigers and lions are fast disappearing. I don't know if this is animal sadness, or human sadness?
