Pigs Might Fly

I felt like a bit of a fraud. I had joined all these Kune-Kune owner forums and had been passing myself off as something that I wasn’t

It seems that we have an imposter living with us. The news was delivered to us calmly but clinically.

“I’m afraid that there is no chance whatsoever that Wilbur is a Kune-Kune. My best guess is that he is a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig…maybe with a touch of wild boar…” We were stunned. The potbellied part was no secret. But the news that Wilbur was Vietnamese? He had never shown any signs whatsoever of any Asian traits. In fact, just last week he had made a particularly strong protest when I tried to feed him some Bok-Choi. I know that’s Chinese cabbage and that I’m maybe stereotyping a little by assuming this would be to his Vietnamese taste? After all, he has had a very British upbringing and is almost entirely assimilated. When we got him, we were told he was a Kune-Kune (They hail from New Zealand) and I had always sensed a definite Maori spirit within him as he’d charge at the postman or leg it towards Winchcombe when a gate was left open.
