00:01Honestly, maybe Pepper thinks she's a dog because of Betty.
00:05She would just do everything that Betty did and follow her everywhere.
00:11What are you doing?
00:12Like, you're not a dog.
00:19During my freshman year of high school, my mom found this cute, adorable piglet on our
00:24local animal shelter page.
00:27My brother and I thought, oh, we have to foster the animal.
00:32We decided to foster this piglet for two weeks.
00:41Pepper and Betty instantly connected and they started playing together.
00:49I remember I definitely threw a little tantrum and cried and cried and cried and cried and
00:55said, we have to keep this pig.
00:57She had become so integrated into our family.
01:01Ultimately, my parents ended up keeping her.
01:05To this day, she has never left the ranch.
01:09Pepper would be a great indoor pet if she wasn't so muddy.
01:13When you haven't seen her for a day, she comes running up to you.
01:19You could tell that she always wanted to be around us and puddle.
01:25She had a huge part in my childhood.
01:28It was her personality and her connection with our dog, Betty, that won us over.
01:35I would walk side by side on these hikes.
01:41I never knew that pigs had this capacity to be so caring.
01:45And I think that's the most rewarding part.
