Three pet pigs in Australia have won the right to live in a house with their owners.
Maggie Park has taken her passion for her porcine pets a step further than most animal lovers by giving pigs Lucy, Lily and Oliver the run of the house.
'Pigs aren't dirty'
Neighbours objected to this, claiming the pigs were dirty, smelly and noisy, and tried to get the pigs evicted.
But city bosses saved their bacon by saying the pigs don't need special permission to live there because they're just like any other pet.
Mrs Park insists the trio are no dirtier than any other pet: "As far as the house goes it's just a matter of common sense. You just have to clean up after you," she said.
Pigging out
The pigs live just outside Melbourne, Australia, and spend most of their time pigging out in front of the TV.
The happy hogs even have their own bedroom to sleep in at night.
