Belgium – A wild boar that was adopted by a couple there became so devoted to him that he now lives inside of them.

On a hunting excursion with his hounds, Gregory Guiot came upon the boar they name Oscar when he was a young piglet and made the decision to temporarily take him in.

Eighty-seven-kilogram (176-pound) Oscar is still there after almost a year, complete with his own sofa, cushions, and blanket.

Guiot’s wife, Tiffany Pierre, stated, “We weren’t planning to keep him here, but to save him and then release him, but we got connected to him.”

After being sent to a training farm, Oscar wouldn’t eat, so after a week, the Guiots were summoned to come get him.

Oscar has developed an enormous appetite these days, going so far as to eat a fishing pole, but he does let his owners know when he has to go potty so they can let him outside.
