And this little piggy...sunbathed all day long
7th August 2006
Percy soaks up the sunshine
The saying 'It's a dog's life', may well have to be changed to 'a piggy's life' if this picture of total animal bliss is anything to go by.
For this little porker snoozed his way through a hot sunny afternoon at a wildlife centre in South Devon over the weekend.
Percy, the miniature pig, who weighed less than a pound at birth, put his feet up at Pennywell Farm, Buckfastleigh, much to the delight of passers-by.
Pennywell's Assistant Manager, Catherine Tozer said: "All the animals have been struggling with the heat so we have just tried to do everything we can to make them more comfortable."
The farm is the only centre in Britain for breeding miniature animals.
