Beef The Pig

Charles Edwards | WABE

June 26th, 2013

Beef is a pot bellied pig. After a serious car accident his owner bought the pig as part of his own rehabilitation. He tells WABE’s Charles Edwards that when you have a near death experience your mind wanders into less than pleasant things and Beef was a good distraction. Since the pig had to be taken care of the pig did more for his owner than his owner did for the pig. Now they’re best friends. Beef turned five on December 20th 2008.
