I just came across this in the Dallas Morning News: “Dallas pet happy to hog spotlight as world’s oldest pig.”
Yes, Oscar, as he is called, holds the Guinness World Record for his old age. Oscar is 20 years old whereas normally potbellied pigs only live around 15.

“When Pigs Can Fly”
It’s a good thing potbellied pig owners are as stubborn as their pets, otherwise by today Gwendolyn, a Vietnamese porker, would have been a goner.
