When we were little our family visited the farm of a Navy friend of my Dad. The owner said, to us, "Would you like to see the pigs? " My sister who was about 8 was all excited. We arrived at a pen and she jumped up on a rock to look over the fence. The huge hog's snout came almost nose to nose with her! What a fright! She had in mind a cute little piggy!
Today on the news there is the story of "porkchop", the pot-bellied pig who is a pet in Brockton, MA. However, Porkchop escapes once in a while and is now considered a nuisance by some people. They have banned him from the city and, though "incarcerated" now, his owner has found a farm which will welcome him as a pet.
