Pigs are so misunderstood they are beautiful, very intelligent and super affectionate
I agree because our dog and pig were best friends and they play inside our house. When we ask them to play outside, our pig understands it and he would lead the way. 😊
Completely agree and delicious too
ayatollah ferkah
Humans taste just like pigs. Maybe someone should carve you up and serve you after “humanely” dispatching you
@@kendahomie seems you have tried us before
ayatollah ferkah I think he did
He's crying just talking about him, that's pure love!
Yes it is, he loves that pig unconditionally. And pigs are very simple friendly affectionate animals who deserve absolutely no unkindness. Also, it is very inspiring to see someone who really found their purpose and found something that really brought him happiness at age 50. Life really does begin at 50 for some, I've seen a couple other stories on that actually
@@alvexok5523 I love watching videos where good people love and save animals. Videos of saving abused animals in horrific situations kill me.
@@chowchow1850 yes. All pig cruelty and suffering must end. All suffering period must end
@@chowchow1850 0:51 - the pig is really enjoying that apple. Apples must taste so good and sweet to pigs. I'm sure you've seen the way that pigs attack and scarf down food, like every meal of theirs, in the same way that we'd attack food if not having eaten in 3 days. I think it's because pigs have more sensitive taste buds than we do. What tastes good to us tastes great to pigs (such as carrots or cucumbers). What tastes great to us tastes unbelievable heavenly great to them (apples, strawberries, pineapple). What is yuck inedible to us is average but edible to them (pig feed/pig kibble). They eat pig feed as regular meals and it certainly curbs their hunger, but pig feed not special treats to them like fresh vegetables and fruits are (on factory farms, pig feed is all they're even given. In sanctuaries, people often treat their pigs to fruit and veg (just like they treat their lucky happy pigs with much more kindness overall)
That’s Todd! Hope to meet him someday!
People that are kind to animals are the ones the world needs.
I have said the same!
@@chowchow1850 Me too
Amen.
I had the privilege of visiting this sanctuary a few months back. The pigs are happy, healthy, and as big as cars. This man has went over and beyond the moon for his pigs and chickens. If you measured this man by his heart, it overflows with love, compassion, and dedication to giving them everything they could possibly want or need. He saved them and in return, they actually saved him and gave him a sense of purpose. I hope to be as selfless as him.
Pigs are very smart. Arthur knew this guy was looking out for him.
I’m pretty sure the previous owner should be legally prosecuted with animal neglect. Thank goodness for this man who has a heart.
Yes I’m some states it’s now a felony for abuse and abandonment.
I agree 💯 %
Yes! Thank God this man came along!
Farmers in general just have a different view on animals. Rarely do you see a farmer go the extra mile to take care of their animals.
In this case it turned out for the best. But I agree with you. Sadly he had a better home than commercially farmed pigs.
"At 50 years old I found my purpose." That means there's hope for me too!! This was beautiful!
I’m in tears. I have hope for us too. We can make it in this world 😢 And make a difference. Don’t worry.
This man deserves an award and i hope all his dreams come true.
I wished all the pigs got the same love and care. They're highly intelligent, funny, caring animals subjected to the worse abuse imaginable. My heart breaks for them. Thank God we have ppl like this. 💗🐷
Yes, thank God for the pig in this video, and Esther the wonder pig, and Julia an incredible pig, and the happy pigs at Vegan santuario gia, and all of the happy safe pigs at sanctuaries everywhere. If only the other pigs in this world were as safe and happy as these pigs, but they're not, they are getting tortured, harmed, slaughtered, and living in terror and agony. And these are animals that are so simple, pure spirited, friendly, affectionate, and playful. How could such wonderful beings deserve all of that? I am thankful that there are all the safe and happy pigs that there are
Pigs are very affectionate, so are cows. I remember
Thats why I couldnt farm them,as a meat eater I'm torn
I grew up around cows and loved them; chickens, too.
Then what do we do steak, sausage and chicken wings !!
Btw ..me and my family have been vegetarians for Many generations . 😄😄
Cows are very loving! They even have their own cow best friends.
This joke flew over everyone's head
First of all, that guy doesn't look anywhere near his age, and those pigs are so cute!
I thought he looked about 55!😂
Because he's vegan. True story
@@karlasalinas8203 that is true, being healthier can make you look younger, and being vegan is healthy. But his happy spirit also makes him look younger too. It's really inspiring actually to see someone who found a true purpose that gave his life real meaning, and at his age. Life does begin at 50 for some
@@alvexok5523 Being healthy means looking younger, you say? I wonder if that would explain why I look like I'm 15-16 even though I'm actually 21. And I'm vegetarian
“We’re playing the potbellies next week” LOL!!!

They’ll be makin’ bacon in no time. Nothing cuter than little piglets. They play like puppies.
"At 50 years old, I found my purpose."
So great to hear and so touching! I hope I will be able to say the same one day!
Me too. I'm not yet 50 and have thought that my life has been over for many, many years. 😢
I love them both!
I'm 55 and over due for a PIG-FRIEND...
Snap. There's still hope for us! Lol 🙏
Yeah i hope i can say that too someday .
Arthur's Acres does such an amazing job in rescuing so many pigs. It is unfortunate they are mainly considered a food and research commodity. 😢
They have the intelligence of a 4-year-old child, form lasting bonds and friendships and are truly gentle animals. The display of emotion was very evident by Arthur and Don in this video. Live and Let live. Thank you again to the great work and compassion of Arthur's Acres in rescuing and rehabbing these pigs.
Pigs are also much cleaner than people think. One of my favorite videos is a pig collecting bouquets of flowers and decorating her home with them. The owner said she wasn't trained to do that either! She did it regularly on her own!
You can tell in Todd's voice how emotional this was for him and how much of an impact Arthur made on him. I'm so happy he found that farm and was able to bring him back to live a happy life forever, not trapped in a pen alone.
how could anyone leave him there? isn’t that illegal? it’s cruel
Depends on the state, but in the US for instance, they have pretty tough animal protection laws, so leaving an animal locked in and abandoning it probably IS illegal in most states, but you know, if nobody points it out to the correct authorities, there's a good chance they'll never know.
farm animals have almost zero legal protections, in fact all animals are technically considered property in the US including cats and dogs, people are usually only prosecuted for animal abuse if it’s someone else’s animal. Most of our “animal protection laws” are more about protecting business methods then the animals themselves
@@garden.of.thistles as @Mycel said. You are confusing apples and pears. Considered property, yes. Letting them starve to death is illegal pretty much everywhere. And US has insane animal protection laws, look it up.
Every animal farming is cruel :'(
@@jinxhead4182 but without people who give a crap to prosecute on those laws they are absolutely meaningless. Especially for farm animals... most small towns are filled with people who don't give 2 shits about those animals so they certainly aren't going to prosecute their neighbor for doing something they do on a daily basis. America in general treats animals like crap. Hell, the world does. It is disgusting
Aw gawd, his floppy lil' ears and his heart-shaped snout are just too much.
Actually
Armameteus ... too much that you want to eat him? You have a bacon playlist on your channel.
@@ImOk... Huh. That's odd. I uploaded those as private videos and UA-cam un-privated them. Lovely.
Anyway, correlation is not causality. No, I wouldn't eat him; he belongs to someone as a pet. Pigs raised for slaughter are bred to feed us and I feel no shame in eating something intended to be eaten. Humans are, after all, apex predators and our ancestors fought to grant us the luxuries of readily-available food sources (like other, lesser animals) that we enjoy today.
I can find a pig like this one cute whilst also enjoying delicious strips of bacon as eating _a_ pig and eating _this_ pig are two different things.
Armameteus ...humans would not be apex anything without tools, yes. The majority don’t crave raw, bloody meat (not like a wolf or lion). They crave sauces, spices, pan-fried this, crispy that...just saying. What people eat on their own time is their own prerogative, farbeit for me to shame anyone for that. What I have no shame in shaming is animal cruelty / abuse. Those offenders can take a hike...to Mars.
@@ImOk... I don't condone animal abuse, no. Where I can, I try to ensure any animal product or biproduct I purchase is humanely sourced, even if it might cost slightly more, as I want to support more humane animal farming practices, but I won't pretend to be a saint. If I can't find those free-range eggs or that grass-fed steak when I want it, I'll still buy the "regular", likely less-than-humane stuff if it's the only thing available or I can't reasonably afford the alternative.
I don't pretend to be a better or worse person for buying one or the other. I just do it if I can in the faint hope that maybe it'll encourage that kind of market to grow as opposed to the more industrialized, less-humane varients. Not living near any free-range farmlands makes it rare though, unfortunately. If anything, it just makes me miss owning chickens for the free eggs and free companionship, but chickens aren't really suited to life in an apartment building.
"I saved his life, but he saved mine". You are so blessed to be able to have a sanctuary. I used to always want a dog sanctuary, now I want a pig and cow sanctuary.
The way the man chokes up talking how much he loves Arthur is just so sweet.
Poor piggy. Now u have a man who loves u.
@@Drew14 why?
Poor? He was incredibly lucky even before to meet his good present owner considering the fate the 99,9% of them have, to be eaten.
@@newhuskytwenty He was poor before. Now he is luckier than me! Lol
Friends comes in all shape, size and form into ur lives hope urs last forever hahahaha
We got a Juliana pig as a rescue and it amazed me how smart and friendly she is. I couldn’t imagine not having our “little” pig now, she’s a part of our family.
This man is a cut above the rest. People who rescue animals that other people eat and just dont have the hearts to care about... people like this man are truly the good ones. This man's empathy is to be admired. ❤❤ beautiful story.
I can't understand why people do this evil things God bless you for helping him.
Drew 14 don’t spam that please.
I only eat organic clean farm raised quickly killed animals...If you eat mass produced meat those animals have been tortured and fed crap and steriods from birth to death..The steriods and especially the stress hormones affect the meat drastically. Always eat animals that lived a happy care free life. Problem solved ..And If your vegan you should at least eat fish.
@@brandonfromkc2815 Fish feel pain too, moreover theres a lot of environmental issues involved with fishing. You can be completely healthy vegan, just supplement some b12
Are you vegan?
@@brandonfromkc2815 organic and clean is meaningless to the animal's suffering and death.
Finds land for a sanctuary, found the perfect land with the first member for free. 💖
It's not really about pigs and humans. It is about LOVE. Pure unadulterated LOVE. It transforms us all and brings out the fine human qualities we never knew we had. And the piggies give that love back as only they know how to do. I wish this wonderful man and his family continued happiness. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
"We're playin' the potbellies next week, whatcha got"🤣🥰....I just love this!
1:35 that oink was perfect, that pig's got great comedic timing
I have learned so much from these videos. For instance, I never knew anything about pigs. I heard they were smart. I never would have imagined a pig sitting in your lap or kissing you. What I love about the Dodo videos is all the love I see and all the love I feel.
saturnslipper you can do it!!! Going vegan is the most wonderful/best decision I have made for myself and for my health too!!! You won’t regret anything!!
@@saturnslipper 😁 just think : pigs and cows are just like dogs.
@@saturnslipper giving up eating Animals is a challenge, but its worth it. ❤ I hope you will also consider going Vegan for the Egg Laying Hens and Dairy Cows, who also end up as cheap meat. Thank you for having compassion for everyone. ❤🐾
this is wonderful. all Animals really are cute and sweet in their own ways, I can't eat them anymore. ive volunteered at Farm Sanctuaries several times and its amazing. I wanted to live on a Farm as a little kid. now my dream is to live on a Farm Sanctuary. ❤🐾
Pigs can be really affectionate and comforting. I’ve loved them through my life. Meeting them and giving them belly rubs was the only thing that lifted me from the deepest pit of depression. It’s been devastating that during the pandemic all of the sanctuaries have been closed and I’d need my fix.
You saved him he saved you, Perfect.....So much love.
"at 50 I found my purpose".... that's beautiful how animal can give a purpose to human being. Love it!!!
I love this bond Todd and Arthur have. So glad he found him. I think this was meant to be.
Drew 14 please don’t spam that comment.
I love them both unconditionally! 💕
OMG I’M DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS CUTENESS
"We're playing the Potbelly's next week." 😂😂 That's a classic. It never ceases to amaze me how intelligent and emotional all animals are.😍😍😍 Thank you, dodo for sharing these videos with us.🥰🥰🥰
This man’s heart is so full of love. So happy for every soul he saves.
Arthur is such a cute pig! And that man clearly loves him so much, he even starts to get choked up just talking about the pig 😭🤧
I noticed that too! Loved it!
Good that the previous owner left Arthur. He got the best friend for his life.
“600 lb dog” - that’s a lot of love 😄❤️❤️❤️
Seeing how emotional he gets when talking about his babies warm my heart
Gods creatures have heart, love, feelings and humor. Love them all.
What an amazing man! Bravo!❤️
That’s where your heart wrenching bacon comes from. A sweet, intelligent and sentient being.
I don't care.
This guy has a heart of gold
Arthur's Acres ~ I love it! Thank you kind gentleman for rescuing him and for loving him. You have a friend for life there as he loves you just as much too! Thank God for spot on divine timing that you arrived at that empty farm, when you did. Happy ending for Arthur the cutey Pig.
How fortunate Arthur is that he was left behind. What a sweet story.
Thank God you were there to help them.
There's a saying that living well is the best revenge and this is yet another illustration of it.
Todd! 🙌🏻 I hope everybody who views donates to Arthur’s Acres! Incredible humans rescuing and loving precious beings!
His eyes changed, ASA he got in his lap
It touches my heart when i see the world still has genuine wonderful people in it. We witness so much evil every news broadcast so thank you Todd for bringing a smile to my face in this pretty grim time.
People - How could anyone leave him there?
Also them - These pork chops are delicious!
I love pork, but I hate suffering. Starvation is 1000x worse than a slit throat.
they are delicious
Yay! Todd! Such a well deserved spot on the Dodo! Thank you Dodo for covering such an awesome sanctuary and the relationship that started it all! Todd you are great and well deserve this recognition! Check out the Arthur's Acres website and donate if you want to help!
Such a kind man! And such precious piggies!
He takes such pride in these beautiful creatures 🥰 proud papa, love from USA 🇺🇸
Arthur sure is a pretty pig. I’m glad you visited the property the day you did so that you found him. He really needed you. Good on you for rescuing this sweet animal!
How lovely that they are together. Love what you're doing.
A man in love. Can’t blame him. King Arthur is alive and well!!
I feel your love. I am a pig person for 27 years. Raised 2 wild hogs and 11 potbellied pigs. Still have 5 that are going on 15 years old. Love them very much. God bless you.
A wonderful story. It's nice to see that more and more people are realizing, that pigs are great pets and deserve a free happy life.Great story.
I love him he's beautiful
Aww Arthur is a good boy. Not all good boys are dogs.
Good man; total respect.
Poor little soul. I am so glad he found this wonderful young man who is taken care of him.
i am so happy for this man kind heart saving the sweet adorable pig
God Bless You Man. Good to hear atleast one story that has a beautiful ending. Thank you so much.
Pigs have as big a heart as humans they might not sound like your animal but they change your world and let all your anxietys melt away
He has now a beautiful sanctuary and keeps rescuing animals!
Holy feck, that's too cute. Love this guy.
Oh gosh what I wouldn’t do to go help this guy get his sanctuary going. (Wonder if he is single. Cuz he’s an amazing man with integrity and character.
I just don’t understand how anyone can eat meat.
I’ve not eaten meat for as long as I can remember. Then my gastroparesis got so much worse, that I’m now 100 percent tube fed. I also have IV fluids and TPN.
This is such a heart warming story and I would love to visit him.
I’m still eating meat but you do you😉
I don't understand it either. It's laziness and selfishness. We don't need it to survive. I am a lifelong vegan and will never wear an animal or eat an animal.
@@ukmedicfrcs Its simple nature, meat tastes good so I'm going to eat it. Of course I do respect people who choose not to eat me or can't for religious or moral reasons, but you can't call people selfish for not wanting to conform to your beliefs
The Medic exactly💯
@@lieutenantdan8541 Morals are not a belief. It IS laziness and selfishness to eat meat. You said so yourself.. you eat it because it tastes good. Plenty of food can taste good, no need to slaughter a living creature that has every right to live the same as you do. If animals could beg for their lives, everyone would be a vegetarian.
People like you are angels. Exemplary. Compassionate. And Arthur is so sweet, with childlike eyes, even as a 600 pound boar.
People like these will always have a special place in my heart. Huge cosmic hug for you, Todd
To me, when you look at the side of the pig it kind of looks like a really big pug.
I love pigs so much, the are amazing animals!....this video so beautiful!
Pigs are really very warm and loving. They have great intelligence levels. They have such expressive eyes.💚🥰
I have a commercial farm pig that I rescued. He lives in my house! Hes about 300 pounds and still growing! But I love him with all my heart and he knows it.
It's always so strange to me, the discnnect you see in people's responses when you hear them talk about how eating pigs is "necessary" but if you mention eating dogs, they become offended. A life is a life isn't it?
I have no problem with eating dogs either... just not my dog, I'm bonded to them.
Imagine if all men as kind as you are towards animals, the world will be a much better place
His whole world changed when you walked into his stall, and got him sisters even! Thank you so much for being kind.
Arthur is battling sickness, but so far he is strong and able to beat it all, with his Dad's help
How many people watching this are like “awwww” with bellies full of meat?
Me.
Awwwww He's Adorable pig. And, Pigs r Smarter than dogs.
and taste better
That ending. Guess I'm crying today
The love bond between these two creatures is so sweet. Man and pig.
A pig that launches itself on its owner's lap - that's what happens "when pigs fly".
I can't wait for the day that animals get justice. Animal lives matter.
Animal lives matter more!!!
Touche!!
That’ll never happen😂😂
@@daryeusford9696 Not true. Karma comes for everyone.
@@user-ti6ix5tn2o Agree. I ran over an animal on the hwy yrs ago. One day out of the blue I thought of him. It was an icy Jan. Later that day I found an abandoned pregnant pit-mix, as if I had been given a chance to make up for the animal I killed long ago. She had 7 puppies and I kept one. I'll always miss them. To circle back to the original point, I wouldn't have felt as bad if I had run over a human. Now I'll get a load of hate--which will prove my point.
Overly cute 125lb. Lap Pig keeps Growing with Love !!!
Very humbling for a human to say I saved his life but he saved mine too..
Those pigs are the cutest! How do people eat them?
Because they taste good
i stopped eating pork when i was 9 because i love pigs too much
TheSauerkraut exactly😂😂
They are selfish sociopaths, and probably not intelligent enough to have empathy.
Diana Lopez of course a vegan would say that😂😂
But that more humans were of your perspective and values: The healing that would take place throughout our world of both animal and humankind.
Great work looking after these dear creatures.
It's so awesome to see the positive relationships that can be created between animals (especially ones which aren't typically thought of as 'pets') and humans
Ladies, find yourself a man who loves you like Todd loves Arthur.
Yes, and make sure he calls you a pig too.
@@nahlabella4857 you're sow right ;)
I’m not eating bacon ever again. It’s done. Over. No more.
GO VEGAN!!
Carlos Josué I’m contemplating a veggie diet.. not that I’m against vegan BUT cheese is sacred!
If you want alternatives, there's a UA-cam channel called Sauce Stache that I would highly recommend. He experiments a lot with cooking and makes mostly vegan food. His plant-based "bacon" series is *really* good!
Sarah Jo thank you! I will check it out!
@@last_gasp2152 when you learn about the health dangers of dairy...it wont be sacred anymore. Check out Dr. Neal Barnard's book.
