CALGARY – An Alberta girl has won her fight to keep a pet pot-bellied pig in her Strathmore home.
The Dahl family kept the pig after finding it in Airdire two years ago, but was eventually told by officials that the pet wasn’t allowed to stay in their home due to town bylaws.
The Dahl’s followed the rules and shipped Chuckles the pig off to a farm but have been fighting for his return ever since, saying he helped their daughter Cassandra stop having night terrors.
WATCH: Trevor and Cassandra Dahl join Global Calgary with details on their pot bellied pig, and their fight to keep the pet in their home.
On Wednesday, town council agreed to let Cassandra keep her pig, amending a town bylaw to let the animal stay in the Dahl’s home.
“Chuckles gets to come home now, and she gets to have him back in her bed,” said Trevor Dahl.
“She’s got her best friend back with her.”
“I’m really, really happy to get him back,” exclaimed an excited Cassandra.
Chuckles has been added to the National Service Animal Registry.
