Brazilian Boy's Pig Ride Takes the Internet by Storm

A nine-year-old boy from the sertão region of Alagoas, Brazil, is the unexpected star of a viral video. The video shows Gutinho Rocha riding a pig, a scene his mother, Ana Paula, confirmed as genuine. "The video of him on the pig is real," she said. "He does this all the time, not just with the pig, but other animals too." The video, originally posted on Gutinho's Instagram in March, has amassed millions of views and likes, showcasing the unpredictable nature of online trends. The initial reports mistakenly placed the event in Ceará, highlighting the speed and occasional inaccuracy of information spread online. Gutinho's story serves as a reminder of the power of social media to connect people and share unique moments, even if those moments involve a boy riding a pig.
