Pig in Boots

In Northern England, a piglet who developed a phobia of mud has overcome its fear by wearing boots brand Wellington. Cinders, the name of the piglet, a young saddleback pig. The pig was discovered to have a condition called mysophobia, a fear of dirt. The pig had been refusing to wallow in the mud with other pigs. So, the owners had the idea of letting her wear with the bespoke miniature footwear to conquer the fear. However, the owner owned a sausage company and said that Cinders will be spared the butcher's knife and instead act as a mascot to the Farm Crisis Network which supports struggling farmers. Isn't it strange? I never heard of any pigs before having a fear of mud. They all seem to like mud! haha
