We often consider pets to be man’s best friend, as they provide companionship, love, and joy to their owners. However, not all pet owners have positive experiences with their pets. Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s family is one such example of someone who had the polar opposite experience with pets. Maria Shriver and Patrick Schwarzenegger recently revealed how it surprised them that their miniature pet pig, which they had been keeping as a household pet, suddenly grew into a 100-pound giant and created a mess all over their house.
The ex-wife and the son of the former Governor of California grabbed the limelight as they opened up about the hilarious story of buying a pet.

Shriver recently spoke out about her experience with a pet pig that she had purchased, believing it would remain a cute, little, gentle creature. The breeder assured her that the pig named “Bacon” would never grow very big“. However, things took an unexpected turn when Bacon started to grow at an alarming rate. “When I got him they assured me that he would stay a mini pig but then it grew to the size of a couch,” Shriver said in an interview with The Squeeze.
The family soon realized that their “miniature” pet pig was not so miniature, after all. He had grown into a massive 100-pound pig, much to their surprise and shock. “He got so fat, like the size of a couch”, Pattrick said. To make matters worse, Bacon had also started to create a mess all over their house, leaving dirt and pig droppings wherever he went.
“Whenever it would rain, he would go out into the lawn and his stomach would drag in the grass and then he would come in and then his stomach would drag over the carpet with all the mud on his belly.” Maria and Patrick had no choice but to relocate their beloved pet to a place where he could roam freely and enjoy a more suitable living environment. They also conveyed that the family still has his photo frame on their wall. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Bacon wasn’t the last pet the family adopted.
