Owner: Pig found after 6 weeks in ‘pretty good’ condition

ALIQUIPPA, Pa. – The owner of a potbellied pig that serves as a therapy animal says the pig is in “pretty good” condition after being missing for six weeks.

Owner Katie Manni says she got a call saying Charlotte was spotted at a construction site near Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, 5 miles from home. When Manni went there Friday, Charlotte came when called “with her tail wagging.”

The couple who provided the tip declined a reward so Manni plans to make a donation in their name to a humane society.

The Vietnamese potbellied pig had last been seen July 11. Charlotte serves as a therapy animal at Beaver Elder Care and Rehab Center in Hopewell Township.

Manni says she doesn’t know where the pig has been and “unfortunately she can’t tell us about her adventure.”
