Little piggy finds a home

Kevin and Shelagh Forder were stunned to find a little porker appear at their cottage in Inkpen on Saturday

SOME little piggies go to the market, but it seems this little piggy prefers a home.

Kevin and Shelagh Forder were stunned to find a little porker appear at their cottage in Inkpen on Saturday morning, looking forlornly through one of their fences.

No one seems to know where the pot-bellied pig has come from, but Mr and Mrs Forder have taken it under their wing and housed it in one of their stables.

Mr Forder said: “I couldn't believe it. My daughter saw it first and did a double take.”

Mr Forder believes the jet-black pig may be a cross between a Vietnamese Pot-belly and a Berkshire Black, and he said it is a lovely pig.

He said: “She is really friendly and good-natured and she is in good health.”

Mr Forder said the pig must be between two and three years old, adding that it must have been well looked after.

He said: “I am surprised if it has been dumped and we'd love to know where she came from.”
