Truffles? Mud? Wings? Pig Seems Happy With a Pet in Ferndale

Patch reader Carrie Kellogg-Laux snapped this photo Tuesday night near the pedestrian alley on Troy.

Ferndale Patch reader Carrie Kellogg-Laux snapped this photo of a pig and his person enjoying the evening Tuesday.

"This was taken last night near the pedestrian alley on Troy," Kellogg-Laux wrote on the Ferndale Patch Facebook page. "The (piggy's) owner didn't share much but he let my stepdaughter pet him."

The photo prompted other other readers to chime in with their own Ferndale swine observations.

  • Randall Simun: Why, in my current uncaffinated state, did I think that pig had tattoos? Is it just because its Ferndale?
  • Paul Levendoski: wow! that little guy grew up.......seen another big hog at a home off woodward hgts also
  • Jordan Leidlein: Ha! I saw that pig last year when it was no bigger than that girl's shoe!

The discerning viewer also will note the ominous words "pot roast" in green on the wall behind the pig.
