Missing Pet Pig Turns Up As Meal


DEMING, N.M. (AP) — A woman who went looking for her family's missing pet pig says she found it — as the main course at a neighborhood barbecue.

Sadie Emerson said she and her 3-year-old son drove up and down their neighborhood streets March 14, looking for the Vietnamese potbellied pig, Tiny Boo. They spotted a group of people having a party near a mobile home, and on the table was a mound of meat that turned out to be Tiny Boo.

Robert Bertola, the mobile home owner, told sheriff's deputies he shot the pig with a rifle after the animal tried to attack him.

But Emerson said the 50-pound pig was a gentle, loving pet that played with her son and the family dog.

``He gave me kisses and was really sweet. We had him about a year,'' she said. ``I think he thought he was a dog. We raised him that way, let him in the house, and he even wore a dog harness.''

Bertola was accused of cruelty to animals and was given a court date of April 13.

Great cartoon and deserving of a Civil War story from the ranks of Johnny Reb:

Concerned that the men in his mess weren't getting enough meat, the cook, a black man, made short work of the camp dog and served it as a stew. When asked where such delicious meat was foraged from, the cook responded, "The Lord provides." Later, the men noticed that the dog was missing and inquired as to its whereabouts. He responded, "The Lord knows."
