Wild baby boar becomes best friends with cat and dog after being rescued by farmer in Thailand

A wild baby boar that was rescued from the forest has become best friends with a pet cat and dog after living on a farm.

Footage shows the animal, named Num Chok, playing with the other two animals this morning (May 1), despite their differences.

Farm owner Chalita Promthong said she found the frail orphaned piglet struggling to walk while she was working in nearby woodland on April 6.

She later took the little animal back home to feed some milk and food at her home in Chanthaburi, eastern Thailand.

The lucky piglet was named Num Chok, which means bringing luck in Thai.

It has been getting along so well with her Chalita's other pets, which are cats and dogs.

Chalita said she has been taking well care of the piglet together with her pet cats and and dogs.

She said: "At first I just wanted to help the little pig recover from its weak health.

But after three weeks, it looks like being happy with my pets, especially with my dog Nim.

I may let it return to the forest if it has grown enough."
