The Heffleys' Pig
Template:PetAnimal The Heffleys' Pig is a baby pig owned by the Heffley Family, first introduced in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul. It seems that he is only fond of Manny, just like how Sweetie is only fond of Susan and Gramma. The pig is the second farm animal won by the Heffleys after a goat (mentioned in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever) which was won by Greg for correctly guessing a goat's weight, but Frank didn't let them keep it, just like that case, Frank didn't want to keep the pig but Susan says she can't return him because the pig "imprinted" on Manny, in other words made best friends. Rodrick also agreed to keep the pig as he thought you could get bacon from him every morning the way you get eggs from a chicken.
History
The Long Haul
The Heffleys won the pig in the Highway 1 Country Fair for guessing the weight of a grown hog correctly. The baby pig was originally going to be returned since Susan Heffley only entered the contest for fun. But the crowd was insulted, and wouldn't take no for an answer, which made her change her mind. The baby pig would eventually "imprint" on Manny.
The pig caused trouble for the Heffleys. They tried to bring him into the the second hotel they stayed at by hiding him in the cooler. While there, he caused a mess in one of the bathrooms, and ate all the food in both of the minibars. Later, while in the van, he woke up and caused chaos, which resulted in Greg Heffley getting bit by the pig. Because of all that Susan put the pig in a petting zoo. Manny was heartbroken by the news, while the Heffleys took Greg to a vet to check Greg's bitten finger. The Heffleys came back for the pig later, when they where aided by two Spanish men. At home, Susan managed to teach him some tricks.
Old School
Greg says that the pig would get a cookie every time he stood on his back legs. He just walks on his back legs and never walks on all four hooves. Greg then talks about how he doesn't wear collars or leashes because he thinks he is too good for them. Then shows him coming home after midnight and says he goes anywhere he pleases. Greg states that it stinks because he has a curfew and the pig doesn't.
Personality
The pig is suprisingly smart. He somehow opened three cans of soda and can use the TV remote to watch television with Manny. That makes Greg feel annoyed.
