Cape Town – Merlin, the pig, is quite possibly the smartest, coolest, and most well-trained pig on TikTok.
Merlin has made his mark on many people on TikTok, after his human mom, Mina Alali – a 25-year-old social media manager from California, USA – introduced him to the world, reports East Coast Radio.
Mina has trained her pig to signal when he needs things. For example, if he’s hungry he has a button, given to him by Mina, to press to let her know that he wants to eat. The same applies to when he wants to go outside – he has to press the button, and Mina would open the door for him.
Take a look:

Merlin is also a fan of music, pressing a button whenever he desires to soothe his ears with melody. He also wags his tail while listening – so cool.

If you think Merlin couldn’t get any cooler, you would be very wrong because he also gives back massages.
