Pot-bellied pig with ‘heart of a lion’ survives mauling, on the road to recovery
PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — A pig with a profile is getting even more attention in Prince George, B.C., as he recovers from a mauling by two neighbourhood dogs.
Rex is a miniature pot-bellied pig who entertains at children’s birthday parties, but he was hospitalized after being attacked on July 18.
His owner, Dayna Denman, 23, said there’s a twist that makes the pig’s tale more traumatizing for her.
“He wouldn’t have flinched if they came up to him, because he’s so used to dogs,” she said. “He thinks he’s a dog.”
