Couple Hopes to Sell Pig with Unique Birthmark to Disney

Chalk this up to another one of those quirky news. A couple in Wisconsin is hoping to sell this pig to Disney. Why? Well, this pig has a very unique birth mark. You guessed it! It looks like a Mickey head! :)

But the Chamberlins knew right away Miss Minnie Piggie was no ordinary oinker, considering the strong resemblance her birthmark bears to Mickey Mouse, a cartoon character created by animators Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928.

"We want to give her as long a life as we can," said Nancy Chamberlin. "She's priceless."

Maybe, but the Chamberlins are hoping someone will put a price tag on their prize animal, and they've contacted attorneys from the Walt Disney Co. in hopes that the company will purchase the pig. They haven't heard anything back yet.

If you go to the news article, look at the 2nd picture they have. It shows a clearer image of the birthmark.

Maybe Disney can keep the pig with the other Thanksgiving turkeys that got the presidential pardons. Now, if this pig happens to have a friend that is a duck with the name of Ferdinand, we might be on to something... :)
