He gave her a wealth of love, family, and community that she\u2019d never experienced before.<\/strong> Chris was the runt of his litter, and Montgomery and her husband got him from a farmer close to their New Hampshire home. From the beginning, he had a boisterous, friendly personality. Montgomery became enamored with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Chris\u2019s outgoing personality represented his species well\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/features\/reasons-never-eat-bacon\/#:~:text=Pigs%20are%20playful%2C%20friendly%2C%20sensitive,and%20even%20enjoy%20getting%20massages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pigs are generally friendly, curious, and intelligent animals.<\/a> They\u2019re skilled communicators, with over 20 distinct sounds they use to convey messages to each other (and to their human companions). They also have excellent memories, and they can learn complex commands.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris\u2019s open and loving personality helped Montgomery build a network of new friends. Chris enjoyed meeting new people, so he often broke out of his enclosure to visit the surrounding neighbors. By the time Montgomery arrived to lead him back home, the people he visited were always delighted by Chris. These interactions gave Montgomery a perfect entry point to get to know people\u2014everyone was happy to talk about Chris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: A lot of experts\u2019 advice aligns with Montgomery\u2019s experience that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/pets-can-help-their-humans-create-friendships-find-social-support-201505067981\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pets can help you make new friends.<\/a> One study found that people with pets were 60% more likely than people who didn\u2019t have pets to form new connections with others in their neighborhood. In particular, people who walked their dogs were more likely to have started a friendship because they connected with someone through their pet.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, Montgomery and Howard began inviting people to bring Chris their leftover food and watch him eat. She and Howard developed a particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-people-closest-to-you\/\">close relationship<\/a> with a single mom who lived with her two daughters next door. The girls visited Chris often, and they became surrogate daughters for Montgomery and Howard, who didn\u2019t have children of their own. Because of the love that Chris extended to everyone he met, Montgomery gained a nontraditional family. <strong>He showed her that family isn\u2019t just based on having the same blood\u2014or being the same species\u2014and home is where you\u2019re loved and accepted.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The kind of family Chris helped Montgomery create is often called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/being-unlonely\/201906\/finding-connection-through-chosen-family\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chosen family.<\/a> Many people who have difficult relationships with their blood relatives seek support and connection from friends. They form kinship groups that aren\u2019t based on biology or the people who raised them\u2014in other words, they choose a new family group. The term originally came from the LGBTQ community, but anyone may create a chosen family when their biological family doesn\u2019t meet their needs.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did one pig build a community for Sy Montgomery?
