This San Francisco airport therapy pig will steal your heart
USA TODAY
Airport therapy pigs may become the next big thing. Just ask almost 5-year-old LiLou the pig and owner Tatyana Danilova. LiLou is a therapy pig certified by San Francisco's Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SF SPCA). Danilova posts frequently about LiLou on her Instagram page, @lilou_sfpig. LiLou joined the "Wag Brigade" at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) more than three years ago, according to Danilova. The airport partners with the SF SPCA to bring animals to the airport to de-stress passengers and airport staff. Danilova touts LiLou as the world's first airport therapy pig; LiLou visits San Francisco International Airport once or twice monthly on a volunteer basis. Scroll through the gallery to see LiLou in action.
