Everyone loves hanging out with their friends. This is just as true of animals as it is of humans. Sometimes animals will have very special relationships with animals of the same species, and sometimes those relationships will be precious interspecies friendships.
Whatever the case may be, there is always something extra special about an unexpected friendship between an animal and their chosen ones. Just take Floppy, the pig, for instance. He has some very unexpected besties that he totally enjoys greeting every time they come to his house.
Who are these special friends? Well, as this video of Floppy running to greet them shows, they come around pretty often, but they are not exactly who you might expect them to be. Click here to watch this adorable video.
Run, Floppy, run! He is just so excited to see his friends every time they pull up to his farm. Who are they? Why, they are the garbage men, of course! According to this video, every time the garbage truck arrives, Floppy is overcome with excitement and runs over to greet the garbage men.

Floppy and His Besties
As this other video shows, Floppy is always happy to see his besties, and they are also happy to see him. After Floppy goes running to the edge of the fence when the garbage truck pulls up to greet his friends, one of the garbage men can be heard excitedly yelling, “Oh, yeah,” as he spots Floppy coming to greet him.
Instagram user floppythepig, who posted this adorable video, wrote in the comments section that this video was “For anyone who had even an ounce of doubt – the recycle guys love me just as much as I love them!” Hey, we don’t doubt you at all, Floppy. We don’t doubt you at all!
