Pigging Out: Rescued Wild Hog Sits for Peppermint Treat

A rescued wild hog was rewarded with a sweet treat for her good behavior in Lufkin, Texas, footage shared to TikTok shows. In the video recorded by Christopher Scott Marlowe, he holds up a peppermint treat and waits for the nearly six-month-old pig to sit before giving her the striped candy. Marlowe, who runs Old Granville Farm, said he rescued the hog back in February when she was just a baby. He named her Maggie and bottle-fed her until she could handle solid foods. "She was house trained and started sleeping on a pillow. I would let her play with my dogs and now she sees herself as a dog. She still likes to cuddle and play, but is quick to learn tricks using mints and butterscotch," Marlowe said. He has https://www.facebook.com/OldGranvilleFarm/posts/103761835216724 previously shared videos of Maggie training to sit on his farm's Facebook page, before sharing the video of he successful effort to TikTok on June 2.
