THE PIG WHO HATES MUCK Cinders the piglet has been given special boots after refusing to walk in mud
LONDON: Cinders the pristine piglet looks hot to trotter — in a set of specially designed green wellies. The posh porker has become a sty-le icon after she was reckoned to have mysophobia... a fear of muck.
Farmers Debbie and Andrew Keeble were baffled when the six-week-old saddleback refused to get her feet dirty.
Debbie, 40, said: “She just stood in a corner shaking while her brothers and sisters romped in the mud. But we noticed that if we moved her to a dry patch she was perfectly happy.”
Andrew, 42, added: “We scratched our heads for a while — then came up with the idea of having some boots custommade for her.” The wellies did the trick — and now little Cinders is having a ball. Debbie and Andrew, from Bedale, North Yorks, also run a sausage firm — but Cinders isn't facing the breakfast table just yet. She has been made the face of a campaign to highlight the plight of the UK's struggling pig farmers. Andrew said: “She's so special we decided to make her our mascot.” DAILY MIRROR HAMAZING A pig likes to put its dung in one place away from its bed They can squeal at 115 decibels — three more than supersonic Concorde.
