This is a “chipmunk pig,” which to my admittedly untrained eyes, just looks like a very small pig with some neat stripes. His name is Christopher P. Bacon. That is, Chris P. Bacon. It’s Friday, and he’s adorable.

Animal Planet set us this exclusive clip to promote the season finale of The Vet Life—which is about a trio of vets who “recently moved to Houston to open a full-service veterinarian hospital and animal shelter together”—tomorrow, June 10, at 9PM. This guy has some sort of itchy condition, although frankly, I have my suspicions that he is in fact some sort of Westworld-like experiment in animatronic cuteness technology.
You, me, and all the other Chris P. Bacons out there—we made it to the weekend.

I hate it when people make up names for their pet pigs that are “funny” because haha, the clever name is going to reference how we kill a pig and chew on its flesh, swallow said flesh and then ultimately poop it out. I get it but it’s gross. How about Fred? Fred is good. ETA: not telling people not to eat what they want to eat here, you go ahead and do you, just maybe don’t give pet pigs corny “future as food” names. It’s like naming your kid “Nursing Home” because they’ll eventually go there to die.
