They're dogs, but one level up - in intelligence, in social 'skills', etc. Super friendly, they're amazing at recognizing people and IIRC have quite a long memory for individual faces.
Esther the Wonder Pig is a great example of what pigs are like when they're allowed to just pig all over the place.
Also at the same farm rescue we had a goose named Joey who'd get a delivery of a fresh flower bouquet every day because it made him happy. He would wait by the gate all morning until the delivery guy came, he'd stand the bouquet thing on the floor in the courtyard and Joey would just sit next to it until bedtime kind of softly quacking to himself. Just wanted to share because thoughts of Joey have made me so happy over the years
