Answer 1

As a side note, they don’t roll in mud too often unless they are crammed in farm style fenced areas. If a pig is on a big farm as a pet, they wander* around like a normal dog/pet. Like a dog, they roll in mud sometimes for fun and like to get dirty, but they are not the filthy animals people think they are. Imagine 1000 dogs on a farm, and it would be pretty dirty areas too.
