Transcript:
You can come and say hello to them if you want to, they're quite friendly. So I rocked up to work one morning on my bike and saw this small, grey-ish sad looking dog that I thought was probably abandoned and I then took her home that night because I thought oh well I don't know what else to do and my husband had a fit and then the following day we took her to Battersea cos he was like we're not keeping this dog we have two dogs, two pigs, two cats, three kids we're not having another dog. I then said to my husband if I paid for her, could I buy her as my wedding anniversary present? And you could see my husband thinking "Oh shit, we've had a wedding anniversary I totally forgot about and she's offering to buy her own present" So I bring the dogs into work probably most days partly because when you have people who perhaps get a bit upset about their wedding dress fitting or they're in a state with their mother they basically need a reason to calm down. They can stroke a dog, calm down, it just lowers the temperature a bit. It's a bit of an unorthodox thing to own in West London, I do recognise that, they're fantastic animals and I got them because... Well I worked on a pig farm for about 17 months at one point. See I've had them since they were tiny, so as you can see they know that I'm the boss. And it's very useful to be able, when you've got a pig, it's very useful to be able to put your fingers in it's mouth without it severing your hand. Ooh cracky, cracky don't be such a pig. When you take on livestock your home becomes a farm so technically although we live in W12 our home is a farm and then I have a walking licence so I can walk them in two of our local parks too. So upset. Shall we go, come on then. This way, don't bite each other. Come on lads shall we go this way - good boy. Good boy. Come here, no don't bite me, here have a carrot and stop being stroppy. Sit, good pig. Good pig. No we'll have less shouting. Good boy, in. Snouty, in love.Good pig come on, yes alright Cracky, keep your hair on. Hello hello hello. A dog looks up to you and a cat looks down on you and a pig looks you straight in the eye. And who's that? Winston Churchill.

This was absolutely amazing, this women is a legend, the shot of that sad frenchie was priceless.

[@alvexok5523]

I appreciate anyone who loves pigs and appreciates how amazing they are. I love the Esther the wonder pig videos

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Panda pig? Is it on a dragons leash? Oh I think it is

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

​@AutoMatiC 😂

[@andrzej1501]

2:33 what a frightened dog xD

[@legendrexy]

it's never seen such obese dogs.

[@alvexok5523]

Dogs know other animals by scent, I think. A dog will recognize the scent of a cat or another dog because they see and smell enough of them, but they may not recognize the scent of a pig, well a city dog anyway like this one was, how many pigs do you see in the city? It's why that dog looked a bit freaked

[@andrzej1501]

Alvex Ok you right

[@BlondsPablo]

2:34 "Am I tripping or what?"

[@cybremystica93]

1:58 the dog is like “why are you taking them for a walk but not me”

[@zuzuribeiro7576]

What an amazing woman!! Happy and full of love and life!! 💕

[@19irving]

The pigs are adorable. But how do you keep the dogs from shedding on the wedding dresses? We have 5 cats and the fur gets EVERYWHERE.

[@joli395]

You are amazing! I wish everyone was like you - so caring and loving towards their animals.

[@surquhart64]

[@Hachiko_459]

This lady is such a kind person 😇😘

[@nashvilleslim]

She's a beautiful soul .

[@amandagarcia6320]

Holy Crap! I will never again complain about walking my dog! She is remarkable and amazing:-)

[@paulmarshall6893]

She lives so near to me and I’ve never seen her walking them 😂😂

[@manusheunis6298]

And THAT is what pigs should be. Pets, not food.

[@adepanca3656]

She's amazing

[@aliciamadden7589]

Even in 2018, Winston Churchill knows just what to say

[@user-jv3zw1gf4w]

The dog's face had me weak

[@carolinefollett7318]

Absolutely lovely. Cxxx

[@azazelzel6954]

[@Tarzan2315]

Marvellous.

[@minchyist]

[@brealgritty2027]

Me too

[@hnjaa]

Pigs are extremely intelligence. Never eat them. Or any animals

[@qwer58j]

What about krill?

[@gamerprohd2298]

hnjaa I like pigs just can’t sand the smell of them meat or alive

[@_UndefeatedGaul]

Bacon tastes good though

[@haunteddreams7856]

@fostered333 id be really tempted to release them and let them run as far as possible

[@finalcranefall6201]

Oh No! That is an XL American Bulldog!

[@eddihaskell]

I would love for you to walk these amazing pets through Richmond Green (the one in West London) and film the reaction of all the snooty people. I used to live there for 11 years. I once walked a purebred friendly Scottish Border Collie there -- she was my friend's dog -- and everyone was absolutely appalled that her name was "Stinky". Londoners just love to pet friendly border collies! However, the feeling I got was "let's hope too many casually dressed Americans wearing shirts that say Michigan Go Blue! walking inappropriately named dogs do not end up moving here!'

[@schmumu]

That'll do pigs, that'll do.

[@MartianInDisguise]

lol the image of her climbing over the wooden fence into the mud with her high heals and short dress...LMAO

[@alexfletcher8465]

My dream

[@mr.paulino9318]

Aww that's so cute. She'd be a good wifey :)

[@girishgupta5466]

Amazing 😂you are brave taking them for a walk

[@roguemeteorite6778]

What breeds of dogs does she have? I recognise the two labs but I can't identify the third dog.

[@unpublished2689]

2:34 the dog is like 'bitch what'

[@anjelaanjel7933]

lol your husband had a fit lol🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@caponsacchi9979]

Nice dogs, but I'd be more inclined to help out with walking the pigs. Dogs give you unconditional love; pigs give you the challenge of staying up with them, ever ready to out-think you in order to have things their own way. I'm impressed to see grass. I thought pigs--even just one--would root up a large-sized lawn.

[@alisonhilll4317]

Don't take them to Golders green.

[@reeseyme9613]

wow, now every dog looks like chihuahua

[@ginafromcologne9281]

lol the cute pig enjoys the massage and a nice belly rub from his human maid and she goes "there you can see that I'm the boss". Hahahaha I think you're misinterpreting the situation, lady. :D

[@reign6of6e6terror]

The pigs go for a walk with her owner 😂

[@joylynch5204]

Do pigs need walks?

[@tomatoketchup4013]

She said don't be such a pig to a pig is like saying to a Chinese person don't be such an Asian person

[@mylenepayet1328]

with all these animals and her dedication to them, i wonder how space and time she has for her husband and kids....It is weird to hear her saying how many animals live in her home and mention her 2 kids last!

[@rossdickson1389]

I'm sure lots of farmers have families too

[@bluebull2006]

Dont bite me have a carrot

[@sharonkerr967]

She needs to have those tusks removed, very dangerous, they're razor sharp and can do real damage to people and other animals. Most people know this
