From Best Friends Network:
An 8-year-old autistic boy wants his potbellied pig back. Loopey, Anthony's 1-year-old Vietnamese pig, was recently ordered out of the family's Fayetteville, North Carolina home, with officials citing a violation of a city ordinance.
Anthony's mother, Lisa Pia, is taking her appeal to City Hall with the goal of changing a 20-year-old ordinance so that it classifies potbellies as companion animals. Most of all, Anthony wants to keep Loopey by his side because she helps him with his autism. "She has been a blessing for my son," Pia says. "He has been comforted and unconditionally loved by Loopey, as she has by him. The way my son has reacted to Loopey is amazing. She is a very smart animal and has become a very important part of this family."
