Holed up in the kitchen of a cramped little flat, Kunekunes Smokey and Haggis must have been boar-ed senseless. The original owners had bought them as piglets thinking they were miniatures.
But as the pigs grew rapidly in size and the owners were rehoused to a flat in Gateshead, near Newcastle, the animals became too much to handle. So they contacted the RSPCA who then launched a search to find the porcine pair a new home.
Thankfully it was a pig-tale with a happy ending. And Smokey and Haggis are now as happy as pigs in the proverbial after being moved to a spacious new home where they have acres to roam and forage.
