Angelica Finch says even though her family has only owned "Bacon" for a few weeks, he has become part of the family.
"Bacon" is a two-month-old miniature pot-belly pig given to Finch's five-year-old daughter as a birthday present.
Finch says she did not know that pot-belly pigs were prohibited in Keokuk until the animal control officer told her he had received a complaint from a neighbor about "Bacon."
That prompted Finch to ask the Keokuk City Council to change city law to include pot-belly pigs as domestic animals, similar to cats and dogs.
