A woman has trained her pampered pet pig to 'speak' - and even lets him sleep in her bed.
Mina Alali, 25, bought mini-pig Merlin in March 2022 when he was just two-and-a-half months old.
Since then she has trained him to ‘speak’ to her by pressing electronic buttons which say 'outside', 'eat' and 'ice'.
The clever hog can also high-five and dance and perform other tricks such as sitting and staying like a dog.

00:02 Yes, is that delicious?
00:05 We're gonna go to Starbucks with Merlin again.
00:07 I have my pet pig in the car.
00:11 Could I just get a cup of ice for him?
00:14 - Cup of ice?
00:14 - Yes.
00:15 - Yeah.
00:16 - Perfect, thank you so much.
00:17 I am not gonna be able to do this for much longer.
00:19 Merlin is gonna be too big to have on my lap.
00:22 Enjoy this time while we have it.
00:24 Hello.
00:26 [laughing]
00:28 - Hi, baby.
00:29 [laughing]
00:31 - Yes, thank you so much.
00:33 [laughing]
00:36 This is Merlin.
00:41 [laughing]
00:43 He's very excited for his ice cubes.
00:47 [laughing]
00:49 You remember him doing an ice cube?
00:51 He loves ice.
00:53 Good boy.
00:54 All right, thank you guys so much.
00:55 Have a good day.
00:56 Mm, absolutely.
00:59 How's yours?
01:00 Good?
01:02 [chewing]
01:04 [laughing]
01:13 Yes, is that delicious?
01:15 Is that delicious?
01:16 Merlin is now just opening the rat's cage
01:19 and the rats are running amok.
01:21 [upbeat music]
01:24 [rattling]
01:26 So now, Merlin, you got it.
01:31 I don't know why you're--
01:32 [rattling]
01:33 Okay, great, good job.
01:35 Great, good job, good job.
01:38 So now he'll just do that
01:39 and I have the rats running everywhere.
01:41 This is Miracle, this is Millie.
01:45 You guys getting a lot more playtime now?
01:47 Is your brother's letting you out?
01:49 Come here, Merlin.
01:50 [upbeat music]
01:53 [chewing]
01:55 He doesn't know what no means.
01:57 I'll tell him no over and over.
01:59 I'm sure he knows what it means,
02:00 but he's just stubborn and doesn't wanna do it.
02:02 So that's great.
02:04 This place, I've outgrown this place.
02:06 I've outgrown this place
02:08 and it's time for us to go somewhere new.
02:10 Ugh, a rat killed in my face.
02:12 This is ridiculous.
02:13 Yes, I still have my Christmas tree up, okay?
02:15 It helps with my mood.
02:18 Everyone take three giant chill pills.
02:20 You.
02:22 You guys, look what you've done.
02:24 It's a madhouse.
02:25 Complete madhouse.
02:29 Merlin, please.
02:32 One of the cutest things about Merlin is he loves my rats.
02:35 He gets little tummy scratches from them.
02:38 Look at this.
02:39 What do you want, Merlin?
02:40 What do you want?
02:43 I can see you eyeing that button.
02:44 Bring out the rats.
02:47 You want the rats?
02:49 All right, let me find them.
02:52 I found Millie.
02:53 Keep your brother a tummy rat.
03:01 Don't.
03:01 Yes, you love your sister.
