A woman has claimed she and her boyfriend share the bed with their pet pig.

Maddie Johnson and her partner Stephen adopted Pickles the rescue pig back in 2017 and he now joins the pair under the duvet in their San Francisco home.

She explained that it was difficult for Pickles to settle in at the house at first, but he soon took to sharing a bed with the couple.

She said: ''He was quite nervous at first. He would stay in his own bed and not venture off very far.

''But by the end of the week he was less piglet and more puppy - running all over the place, asking for belly scratches and snuggles on the sofa.

''Within a month he was sleeping in our bed!''
