“Wilbur” the pig gets a new home
LETHBRIDGE – A four legged, pudgy, friendly little animal is being re-homed today, after he was found a few days ago by Lethbridge Animal Services.
Little “Wilbur” the pig, as he was named, was found near Mayor Magrath Drive and Highway 4 Sunday afternoon (Jan. 6) near the Holiday Inn. He was seen by several people actually running alongside the highway, coming from an eastern direction.
Animal Control Officer Skylar Plourde says they have never received a call for a little pig before.
“Most of the time we’re just dealing with dogs and sometime cats. We have had, over the last couple of years, some calls about chickens sort of running around different parts of the city…but in my four years here I definitely haven’t picked up a pig. So that’s a first.”
