If you’ve ever wondered what a 600 pound pet would be like, you’re looking at it. Esther the Wonder Pig was supposed to be… a bit smaller when co-parents Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter took her on, but they got a bit of a surprise. Steve says, “We got Esther in 2012 after a friend contacted me on Facebook, She said she had a mini pig that needed a home, and asked if I was interested. We had never talked about it before, but I had always loved animals and the thought of a pig was amazing to me.”
They were in for quite a surprise when Esther turned out to be a commercial pig, the exact opposite of what they were expecting, but they couldn’t be happier together.
Raising her is almost like raising a dog, the main differences being that she needs a (much) bigger bed and plenty of fresh produce for her diet. But isn’t that all worth it, seeing as she looks like the absolute best pet in the world?
Since Esther has been turned into the “Wonder Pig” publicly, she’s accumulated 194,000 followers that Steve and Derek hope to teach about loving and taking care of animals properly.
I’d pig-sit anytime for them, wouldn’t you?
