Guest at Paulding dog pound a real pig

Associated Press

PAULDING, Ohio – A dog pound in Paulding has said goodbye to a guest more appropriate for a barnyard.

The Paulding County dog warden took in a pot-bellied pig for a few days this week after a woman who’d been sitting for the animal got stuck with him when the owners wouldn’t take him back.

Dog Warden Georgia Dyson normally doesn’t accept anything other than dogs. But she told The Blade of Toledo (http://bit.ly/yMpfvv) she felt bad for the pig-sitter, whom she described as a senior citizen unable to care for the animal.

Dyson said she fed pig feed to the 14-week-old pig, named Bacon Bits and about the size of a beagle. He got french fries as a treat.

A rescue farm came to fetch Bacon Bits on Wednesday.
