<H1>Pig in Boots: The world's only porker who is afraid of mud

You can't get much happier than a pig in muck, or so we are told.

But when this little piggy arrived in the farmyard she showed a marked reluctance to get her trotters dirty.

While her six brothers and sisters messed around in the mire, she stayed on the edge shaking. It is thought she might have mysophobia - a fear of dirt.

Owners Debbie and Andrew Keeble were at a loss, until they remembered the four miniature wellies used as pen and pencil holders in their office. They slipped them on the piglet's feet - and into the mud she happily ploughed.

Now she runs over to Mr Keeble so he can put them on for her in the morning.

this story is so precious!
 
Hahaha! I saw a photo of this pig today in the Metro... where did they find such tiny wellies??
 
I just want to say that when I saw this yesterday it pretty much made my day. Thanks for posting, inhirnamy!

You're in luck; the owners are keeping her as a pet. Here's an excerpt from the article on DailyMail.co.uk:

Fortunately for five-week-old Cinders, she will not end up in one of their sausages. Although they were pig farmers for 20 years, the Keebles keep them only as pets nowadays.

'I don't know what will happen as she gets bigger,' said Mr Keeble.

'Hopefully she will grow out of her phobia of mud before she needs a new set of boots.'
