My Pet Pal: Ozzy

March 20, 2017 12:00 am • Last Updated: March 20, 2017 9:04 am

This is Ozzy, our pet pot belly pig. We got him at 12 weeks old, and he weighed 5 pounds and was supposed to be a mini pig. He is now 2 years old and weighs 200 pounds. He is smart, clean and lives in our house with three small rescue dogs. We’re sure he thinks he is a dog! They all get along fine. He is our first pet pig, and we love this big boy.
