Owner: Missing potbellied therapy pig is found, now home

ALIQUIPPA, PA -- A missing potbellied pig that serves as a therapy animal has been returned to its Pennsylvania owners.

Owner Katie Manni says Charlotte the pig has been found and was back home Friday. She hasn't provided any other details.

The Vietnamese potbellied pig had last been seen July 11.

Charlotte served as a therapy animal at Beaver Elder Care and Rehab Center in Hopewell Township. She helped cheer up residents there.

Manni and her fiance, Edward Perry, got Charlotte in February, when she was 6 weeks old.

The pig was left in a car with a pair of pugs for about 10 minutes in July while Perry ran into the center to get keys from Manni, who directs nurses there. When he returned, the pig was gone.
