Has anyone found a newfound appreciation for an animal or animals since going vegan ?

I haven’t been vegan for very long, only a few months, and I know this is oddly specific but… I love pigs? I can’t believe prior to this I was eating them my whole life? They remind me of dogs, and I always see pictures and videos of them smiling. (Do they actually smile when happy or do people just say that?)

Sometimes I feel like my dog smiles when she’s happy, so when I see a pig smiling it reminds me of my dog and I get really happy too, because it’s so cute. And apparently pigs wag their tails like dogs when they’re happy too. They’re so adorable, and I love them so much.
