Billie, the rescue pig, had never been in a pool before, much less owned one. When she came to Arthur’s Acres Animal Sanctuary, however, that changed.
The water-loving pig can’t get enough of it now.
“She absolutely loves it,” Billie’s dad, Todd Friedman, told The Dodo. “She spends her days poolside, grazing or eating.”
Friedman watched the 2-and-a-half-year-old Kunekune pig’s first pool experience with delight as she stepped in the water and remained in that exact spot for “no less than three hours.” They had to keep checking on Billie to be sure she was all right, but ultimately, Billie was thriving.
In her previous life, Billie lived in a wet basement that flooded often. She and her pig brother, Moby, came to live at the rescue, where they’ve been given a second chance at life. And by the look on Billie’s happy face, the pool is the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
Billie enjoys relaxing in places other than pools. She may also be spotted soaking up the rays in the pond or standing near the water with her mouth wide, waiting for a treat to fall in.
Billie may be having her best life right now, but Friedman is the one who gives her credit.
Friedman remarked, “She taught me a lot about forgiving.” “She has every right to be upset after spending her childhood in a damp, dark, and chilly basement.”
He said, “She likes everyone – and I mean everyone.” “She is so upbeat and doesn’t seem to be bothered by anything.”
