OK we'll do it.

Pigs are right up there as the cutest members of the animal kingdom.

And if you could see yourself spending some time among the porkers, giving them hugs, belly rubs, talk to them and feeding them cookies - then this volunteer position at an animal sanctuary in the US is for you.

Cotton Branch Farm Sanctuary, in South Carolina is looking for people to give them a hand with the pigs at one of their branches.

Writing on Facebook, they said: "Do you want to help make a huge difference in the lives of the pigs of Cotton Branch?

"Come help socialize our adoptable residents so they can move into our adoption program with ease!

"Belly scratches, cookies, sitting with them and even just talking to our pig friends can get them ready for their new home."

The farm, which looks after around 100 pigs at any time as well as a variety of other animals, went viral after sharing this advertisement.

Hundreds of people liked and shared their post with many saying they'll be signing up to get involved.

The site states that volunteers don't need any prior pig cuddling experience, but they must be over 18 years of age. Or if between 16 and 18 then you'll need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, "no exceptions".
