If you've ever wished for a pig/sheep hybrid, you're in luck.
Mangalica pigs have just started to make their presence known on the Internet and they're perfect.

The Hungarian breed is domesticated which means yes, you can own one.
"If you treat them nicely, they’ll become as tame as dogs," breeder Wilhelm Kohl told Modern Farmer. "They’ll follow you, play with you."

While the pigs are absolutely adorable, Kohl actually breeds them for meat. According to him, Mangalitsas produce "the Kobe beef of pork".
But how could you ever bear to eat a fuzzy face like this?

Those fuzzy faces just want to be loved, and loved they'll be, once we all fill our houses with them.
You heard it here first: Mangalica pigs are the dogs of 2016.
