This Farmer Has A Very Strange Friendship With His Animals... And It's Strangely Adorable









Otchan is a pig farmer in Japan who has a very adorable relationship with his little friends.  Photographer Toshiteru Yamaji captured the special and beautiful bond he shares with his pigs over the 10 years, and these photos are truly stellar.


The loving farmer serenades the pigs with music, cuddles with them, and simply treats them like his children.  Completely unlike the highly publicized inhumane conditions of pigs in U.S factory farms.  Yamaji has published a book called “Pigs And Papa”, which is available on Amazon with a full collection of his photos of Otchan and his pigs, which has won the 13th Japan Self-Publishing Award.
