SAN FRANCISCO - Pigs still can't fly, but you can fly after saying "hi" to a pig in San Francisco.

KNTV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2h6ilK1) that the San Francisco International Airport has introduced Lilou, a therapy pig, as the newest member of the airports so-called "Wag Brigade," a group of therapy animals that roam the terminals.

Airport spokesman Doug Yakel says Lilou has so far been a big hit with travelers.

Lilou, dressed in a pilot's cap and blue tutu, let passengers pet her pink snout and her back on Monday after making her debut.

The airport launched the Wag Brigade in 2013 and features dogs, and now a pig, trained by the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and certified through their Animal Assisted Therapy Program.
