I was startled by our dogs frantic barking. I ran to the window and saw a baby black pig almost in our garage! At first I was afraid that a huge angy mama pig would show up and beat up our dogs. However, this little piggy wasn't the least bit afraid of our dogs, even though she was half the size of them.
She had two white colored feet, and the tip of her tail was white, which she waved in friendly surrender.
She responds to our calls and human pig grunts, and really wags her tail happily like a dog while making the cutest grunting sounds.
Okay, she must be someone's pet. She looks like a pot bellied pig. She stayed for about 15 minutes than trotted back down our driveway. We live in a Hawaiian rainforest and there was a light rainy drizzle which created lots of tiny sparkles on her dark colored coat.
The next day we found a note on our gate: Lost pot belly pig, saw her by your driveway (with a phone number). I have called several times but the phone number is never in service. In my gut, I feel that being a pig she is naturally smart, and was never lost. She chose to cruize the neighborhood and then went home because she knew the way back. If not, she would have stayed here where we would have kept her and loved her!
Aw, Cheryl, that was such a sweet visit, blessings I suppose. Animals always know where they'll be loved. Loved you post. And mahalo for sharing your little adventure.
Happy Monday Lady,

She is adorable and I agree with PK, she instinctively knew that she was in a safe place...betcha she'll be back!

That is sweet. I'm glad she was friendly. Secretly hope she comes back for another visit...

Well, that's very different than the pigs we see around here... I bet it's tough being a pot belly pig in Hawai'i!

I love it when she responds to our calls and human pig grunts, and really wags her tail happily like a dog while making the cutest grunting sounds. That's really funny.

This was truly a great, dangerous but the adventurous place. The forest was too large and vastly spread-ed there. But still I enjoyed a lot. Likewise,all inclusive vacations is the only blog where you will get the list of come more adventurous places where you can visit and have fun.

I think that this is not the neighbour I have been dreaming of, but it seems quite friendly indeed!

Cute little thing. At one of the photos she looks really purple. Very pretty!

It is very cute indeed. I hope that it won't grow tusks and become dangerous. I also hope they leave it alone.

Lol...She is cute. That must have been entertaining. That is not something that happens very often here in Canada.
