I spoke to my wife again at lunch and as well as telling me to stop bothering her about the pig she also remembered that as she looked back in the car it appeared to have some sort of bracelet on one of its front legs. is this an identifying mark? Would a pig on a farm have some sort of bracelet? The cursory google search of "pig bracelet" only revealed a bracelet with pigs on it rather than a pig with bracelet(s) on. Anyway, i presume unless there is another sighting or lost report i'll just have to give up hope of solving this puzzling mystery.

I asked my wife and like myself thought this was a classic pig, as in pink, not an exotic breed. It probably was a foot off the ground, not massive, not young so it could run rather than waddle. Lost sight of it after we passed the school so who knows where it went. Is it possible to keep a pig as a pet? Could it belong to someone on ED grove? Anyone know a friend of a friend with a pig? My wife thinks i should let my pig fascination go and maybe get on with my life.

I will ask my wife who was in the car with me if she can remember anything unusual about the pig and report back. Although seeing a pig in itself was rather unusual. I will also ask her about my pot belly.

Indeed it can get out of hand, but it helps pass the time of day. So to clarify, there was a pig of the non-Spider variety sighted in East Dulwich. I'm sure i wasnt the only one to see this. Maybe this could become the ED equivalent of the Cornish Great White sighting, although a pig might not have quite the same news-worthiness.

What is Spider Pig?

Seen someone who looked alot like Jacko from Brushstrokes, Huw Edwards and the above bloke from the office in Herne Hill but not all at the same time. That would be too much excitement.

I've been an East Dulwich dweller for a few years now, thought i'd join up after lurking for a while. I just wondered if any other ED'ers had seen the pig that was running along the side of the road on East Dulwich Grove (the schools end) - i saw it on Saturday, mid afternoon, and wondered where it had come from. Anybody know about this or saw it?
