Favorite? We don’t use that word around here. (It’s Roxie)

Joseph Purrington with Roxie.

As told by Joseph Purrington, Owner of Sisu Refuge, Albertson, N.C.

When asked if he has any favorite pigs at Sisu:

“We don’t use that word around here, but it’s Roxie. She’s Daisy's sister, and Daisy is one of the pigs on the billboards. Roxie’s just got this graceful presence, and she always smells like maple syrup. She’s just big, beautiful, very loving, and chill. Until you don't give her watermelon. And then she turns around and bites you on the butt. I was handing out watermelon one day, and she was standing behind me, and I completely forgot about her. And she bit me right on the cheek. She’s a woman who knows what she wants.”
