Oh, you guys. This tale of pig friendship had me tearing up at my desk. NERD ALERT!
11-year-old pig Angie was living out her golden years on Farm Sanctuary in upstate New York. She was very social but after her pig buddies died off she withdrew, stopped eating and even stopped walking around in the pasture! Poor little gal. Oh, and she had arthritis, too. Crying yet?
The nice people at Farm Sanctuary tried introducing her to other pigs but she never took to any of them until Fiona came along. Fiona was a Babe-esque piglet full of gumption and stick-to-it-iveness, and Angie accepted her right away. And they became BFFs!
For almost a year Angie ran around with Fiona like a much younger pig, rolling around in the mud and just generally having buddy times (as evidenced below).
Angie eventually died, but in her final days Fiona stuck right by her, sleeping right up against her. (I love it when animals do that! It is their best behavior.)
Sad story! :( But also happy. Sniiiiiff.

She have lived long than the usual lifespan, and she can't be eaten anymore. This quotes also applies to pig, No pig is in an island, and she also needs a buddy to get her life back, and now she is happy. - juicy couture diaper bags
