Not long after I moved to Atlanta, I was driving home one night and saw a man walking his pet pig down the street. I wondered if I had hallucinated, but it turns out this pair are a local institution, and can often be seen taking the air in and around Piedmont Park. Yesterday I saw them surrounded by curious passers-by, and as I was taking this picture, I heard the man describe his porcine companion's personality as "aloof". I should note that I have never seen the pig wear the same t-shirt twice.

There was a woman with a pet pig in my neighborhood in Taipei. She kept it slim by feeding it only fruits and veggies, and she let him sleep in bed with her.
He looks a lot like Chauncey.
It's not uncommon for women to sleep with pigs.
Excellent observations, Evelyn.
I haven't asked the guy about his pig's sleeping habits. Don't want to know.
I hope the pig's other t-shirts aren't white. White really doesn't do anything for him.
