This tale of a sheep and a pig making friends melted people’s hearts
Maybe it’s a result of all those months of heat. Maybe it’s something to do with the state of the world right now. Or maybe it’s just because it’s such a lovely story.
But this tale of a sheep and a pig making friends has gone viral because, well, look at them won’t you!
On my brother’s farmlet he has an old ram which is separated from the other rams bc they’re bullies to him. Last spring a young, wild pig turned up in his paddock and they’ve become best friends. Sunbathing today. pic.twitter.com/g5o3oehJoJ

And here’s the backstory you all need right now.
For those asking, the ram’s name is McDuff and Pig is known as Pig

These two need a children's book about them.

The Adventures of Pig and Mcduff is a best seller for sure.

And only because this had never occurred to us.
Does your brother shampoo his sheep? Looks very tidy.
— Hebe/Sharon (@hebehu) August 19, 2018
He doesn’t but he does take very good care to keep them in top notch condition.

More pictures? Okay then.
In conclusion …
Just as I was about to logout.

I can sleep happy now like a pig in a wool coat.
Thank you.
