WATCH: Rocky the 43-stone pig hoping to win garden revamp
This pampered pig’s proud Black Country owner wants to win a competition to create his perfect paradise.
Rocky the 43-stone Gloucestershire pig lives on slabs in a garden in Coalpool, Walsall, at Lara Mansfield’s house along with two children and three dogs.
They have entered the Magical Garden Makeover competition with Mybuilder, a marketplace for homeowners to find tradesmen, to win a total garden transformation that is up for grabs if they earn the most votes.
WATCH Rocky roll around his Black Country home:
The 31-year-old has lived in the house all her life and the garden used to have grass before they put down slabs twenty years ago.
It is separated into three segments for the pig, daughters and dogs to all play in their own area and she said she would love to see it transformed into somewhere more ‘comfortable’.
She said: “I have never entered anything like this before but my garden is all concrete slabs at the moment and they are all cracked so it is no good for the kids to play on.
“It would be great to have somewhere comfortable for the pig and a place for my kids to play plus it would be nice to invite friends around for a barbecue there too.
"We have had the pig for two and a half years, I just always wanted one and when I tell people he’s my pet, no one ever believes me.
"He always looks a lot smaller in photos but he has got a lot more growing to do – he has only just started teething.
“It would mean everything to get it renovated really.”
