This video segment from Nature describes the beauty of pigs. Many people have pigs as pets. Some keep pigs right in their homes. We see two pigs who live in Beverly Hills, California. The owner says pigs make wonderful pets. They are very sweet, loving and intelligent. They can be trained to do tricks and behave properly in a house. If an owner decides they don’t want their pet pig anymore, he can bring it to Little Orphan Hammie’s, an animal-rescue home for pigs.
