5.A couple who thought they had a fashionable micropig were surprised when their pet grew into a 47-stone monster.
The pig Esther heavier than a fully grown polar bear lives in their house along with two dogs and a cat.But owners Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter thought she would stay a cute small piggy,never weighing more than five stone.The two-year-old pig is an Internet superstar and even has her own Facebook page.Esther the Wonder Pig has an amazing 235,000 followers.
Her owner,Steve,from Ontario,Canada,said,"Friends would come over and say'she's getting bigger'and Derek and I would say'no,she's not'.Bur soon she was standing to steal things off the kitchen counters,the sofa became smaller,and of course there was the weight gain.We just adapted and loved her more.What else could we do?It wasn't her fault and we would never give up a pet.At night,when we lived in Georgetown she had a mattress(床墊)in the living room,but since we moved to the farm she has decided she needs to be close to us and now sleeps beside our bed with her mattress on the floor.She still on occasion climbs up onto our bed for a nap during the day."
Esther is now almost ten times her expected size.She also enjoys fresh fruit and vegetables like ripe bananas.The cute pink animal spends her days rooting in the gardens,eating,sleeping and playing with her other friends.
"People's reaction to meeting Esther still amazes us,it's like they're meeting a movie star.Even now people are amazed by her size and her awareness.It is as if she knows she is famous and that is her role,that she is changing the world's view of her kind and their amazing abilities to think,feel and be loved."
