Pot-bellied piglet pet raised in Thailand proves giant surprise
The sow now weighs more than 150kg, and there is no indication she will stop there
A young man who bought what he thought was a tiny pot-bellied piglet to raise as a pet received the surprise of his life when it just kept growing, and just eight months later he now has a 150kg black and white sow sharing his home.
Junior became an instant hit with netizens after the story and photos were recently posted on the Facebook page “@Pigjuniorr.’’
Her owner, Pattanadol Taesakul, 25, has a shop selling construction materials in Bang Bua Thong district in Nonthaburi, Thailand. He bought Junior at a fair held at Muang Thong Thani last year.
At the time she weighed only 3kg, and was on display at a booth selling pot-bellied pigs. He thought she was cute and expressed his interest in her. The seller told him it was a pot-bellied pig
and would not grow any bigger.
