ALIQUIPPA, Pa. — The owner of a potbellied pig that serves as a therapy animal says the pig is in “pretty good” condition after being missing for six weeks.

Owner Katie Manni says she got a call saying Charlotte was spotted at a construction site near Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, 5 miles from home. When Manni went there Friday, Charlotte came when called “with her tail wagging.”

The couple who provided the tip declined a reward so Manni plans to make a donation in their name to a humane society.

The Vietnamese potbellied pig had last been seen July 11. Charlotte serves as a therapy animal at Beaver Elder Care and Rehab Center in Hopewell Township.
