After growing up with dogs for pets as a child, Ole Miss student Tommy Brooker heard about miniature pot belly pigs and was intrigued. Brooker researched the animals, and decided that a miniature pot belly pig was just the kind of pet he wanted.
Currently weighing around 30 pounds, Tommy's pig could weigh anywhere from 30-60 pounds as it grows up. Pig's like his are a far cry from true, full-size pigs that live on farms and in the wild.
Just like cats, dogs, and other household pets, there are adoption agencies, shelters, and pig rescue programs all over the United States for those interested in going outside the norm for their next pet.
