As an 8-month-old piglet, Spot was rescued from a family who had purchased him as a novelty pet but were not able to keep him. Spot met fellow piglet Sientje after arriving at his new home, and the pair became inseparable.
It was animal lover Rachel Vos, of Aubel, Belgium, who adopted Spot back in 2005, and she noticed the special bond between her two pigs immediately. Spot and Sientje lived happily together for 12 years.
