This little piggy got some wellies - Cheap pet insurance

Posted : 13-06-2008

A Yorkshire piglet has overcome its fear of dirt with a fetching pair of wellies, it has emerged.

Cinderella, a six-week-old saddleback, was diagnosed with every pig's nightmare: mysophobia, reports the Guardian.

The piglet's owners, Debbie and Andrew Keeble, sausage makers from Bedale, North Yorkshire, noticed Cinders stood at the edge of her sty shaking, while the other piglets explored.

When the pigs were moved to place with no mud, Cinderella happily roamed around, so the Keebles decided to get her some protection.

"We scratched our heads a bit but then we thought, we wouldn't go in the mud bare-footed, so why not try some wellies?" Mr Keeble told the newspaper.

The bespoke rubber boots have no footwell, slip straight over Cinderella's trotters and are in classic green.

Last month, ABS CBN reported that a pot bellied pig and pet golden retriever have become best friends in Talisay City, Philippines.

The two pets have become inseparable and even play fight, bathe and eat together, owner Kenneth Posa revealed.
