Derek Walter and Steve Jenkins adopted a tiny pig named Esther. They thought she was a pygmy piglet who would always stay tiny.
They were completely wrong. Esther ended up growing into a 670 pound full sized pig. But the two “parents” were even more surprised to find that their full sized pig buddy bought immense happiness and joy to their lives. She taught them how smart and friendly pigs were — convincing them to stop eating pork, turn vegan and start their own animal shelter.

It’s a heart-warming story…
…but raising pigs requires tons of effort.
It can get pretty tiring…
…as she needs a TON of food and care.
But she’s part of the family now…
…and has changed her adoptive parents lives around. Hopefully she’ll inspire you as well.
