San Francisco International Airport (SFO), in partnership with the SFSPCA Animal Assisted Therapy program has welcomed a very friendly therapy pig named Lilou, who is the first of her porcine kind to play an important part of the amazing Wag Brigade. As part of her duties, Lilou will greet weary passengers, welcome them to San Francisco and more than likely, make them smile. Lilou also offers her smile services outside of the airport.

LiLou is the first known airport therapy pig in the United States, and promises to surprise and delight guests at SFO with her winning personality, charming costumes, and painted nails. LiLou loves performing tricks for her audience, and also visits several other facilities in San Francisco including senior centers and hospitals.
