Technically, a pig is the young of a domestic swine, or of any swine (family Suidae). The term is also commonly used to refer to any swine, which, as their appearance as well as some of their behaviors are considered by many to be unsavory, can have literal and figurative meanings. As a result, you see very few pig characters in the furry fandom.
In reality, not all pigs are fat, but because the domestic breeds are traditionally raised for meat, this is the most well-known stereotype. There are also breeds of pig kept for pets.
The Disney character Pumbaa, a warthog, had a pet peeve about being called a pig, insisting the more formal title of "Mister Pig".
