At points north we stopped to visit a teenage son. The son came aboard the motorhome. This particular son was not familiar to Bud, and furthermore, he was a smoker. As we chatted with him, Bud whined and moved around the cramped space in an agitated way. We reprimanded him and he retreated to parts unknown.
He was back within a few minutes, quietly using the litterbox and doing his usual snouting around in the litter material. We continued to converse with the teenager. Suddenly, Bud made his move against our unwelcome guest. With his weight on his hind legs, he put his front hoofs on the teen's leg, barked, and rubbed his wet litter-laden snout on the boy's jeans.
The kid leaped to his feet and retreated down the steps of the motorhome. Since that time, when the boy comes to visit, he sits with his feet and legs tucked under him when Bud is around. The pig gets respect from the teenager.

Bud must not have liked smokers! Very opinionated--LOL!
LOL! Sometimes, I'd like to do the same to smokers!
ps - my word verification is "hofers," perhaps a tribute to you sweet "hoofer"?
It's hard for anyone to get respect from a teen; good for Bud!
That's funny.
Sorry your pig has gone to pig heaven. Looks like he had a long and well-cared for life.
I've been wondering how big he got, but he certainly had a personality that came out early in his life, it seems. Great story!
That is a funny story! I guess that is one way to show who has control.
Yea for Bud. He certainly let his opionion known. How funny.
I heard they were easier to house break than a dog.
Fun story to share, I didn't know they were litter trained.
Of course, they have a enhanced sense of smell and wouldn't like cigarette smell. Yay, pig! Great story.
That is funny. Good for Bud. I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke either.
