Why/how are pigs used to find truffles? Do they have a natural affinity for them?

The eli5est: Lonely girl pig mistakenly believes boy pig wearing truffle cologne is playing hide & seek.
The truffle smells an awful lot like a boy pig’s junk. The girl pig smells this junk coming from the dirt at the base of an oak tree and she does not ask questions — she simply pursues. And because girl pigs are kinky as heck, when they find the mushroom that smell’s like a boy pig’s junk, they eat it. That’s why dogs are trained to find truffles instead, the same way dogs are trained to sniff out anything. Dogs, kinky or otherwise, have no impulse to eat the boy pig’s junk.
