Simone Partner allows her miniature pig Milo to lounge around her home in Bath, UK, Although he sleeps outdoors, Milo is more than welcome inside Partner's bedroom.

The 28-year-old told LADbible: "He is tidy and completely house-trained, other than when he loves to bring straw into the house from his outside bedding, which I always have to clean up after him.

"He has his own 'pig-proof' house in the back garden where he sleeps at night but most days, he loves sleeping on the sofa, snuggled up to the pillows, his mermaid blanket and squeaky toys.

"Milo is part of the family and he is like a son to us."
