Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter took in what he thought was a small pig. It turned out that Esther (as the pig was named) was a full size commercial pig who grew to 600 pounds. This is the story of how they went from tiny pig, to redesigning their whole house to accommodate Ester, to buying a farm and starting an animal sanctuary.
I love a good animal story. I love how these people were willing to go through all they went though for a pig they fell in love with. But it all started on the wrong foot with me. When Steve decides to get a pig (even if he thought it was a mini pig) without telling his partner I instantly didn't like him. And the humor for me quickly got old and annoying. There were a lot of stories of the messes Esther made (by the way how do you clean cooking oil off every surface in your home, like ever, never mind in a couple of hours?) and how she liked to eat but not much more about her. She liked to cuddle but what else? I wanted more Esther and less Facebook page and what it takes to become vegan. It is a quick read and somewhat interesting but I can't say I would recommend it.
