A pig named “Makku” is stealing hearts and going viral online — not for being on a plate, but for behaving like a loyal pet.

In a now-viral video with over 650,000 views, Makku was seen entering his owner’s home obediently after being called.

“Makku, pumasok ka na at gabi na. Lumabas ka pa kasi, bilisan mo at may sasakyan!” his owner said in the video.

Surprisingly, Makku followed, just like a trained animal.

Makku’s story is far from ordinary. His owner, Jun Dahilig Fagaragan, shared how the pig kept escaping from its pen and how he tried replacing it, only to end up with the same pig again.

“‘Yung alaga naming baboy ay galing sa piggery farm, binili ng Nanay ko para alagaan at kapag lumaki, ibebenta para may pantustos sa pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan sa bahay,” Fagaran said.

“Pero nung ilagay niya sa kulungan ng baboy, palagi siyang nakakawala, kaya ibinalik siya ng nanay ko. Pagkatapos ng isang linggo, bumalik siya ['yung nanay ko] sa piggery farm para kunin ‘yung kapalit [ng baboy] — siya pala ‘yung nakuha ulit,” he added.

After several failed attempts to contain him, the family decided to let Makku roam freely.

“Lagi ko siyang kinakausap na huwag lalayo, huwag malikot, at magpaka-behave siya kaya naging ganiyan,” Fagaran said.

Makku, who was originally meant for sale, is now part of the family.

“Binibili pa siya noong December [2024] kaso ‘di ko [na] ibinenta, kasi parang anak ko na siya,” Fagaran said.
