I always enjoy the good news stories @Deepizzaguy posts. He writes about true heroes. Well since 2021 the true heroes at Engine Company 239 in Brooklyn, N.Y. have made Penny the Pig their unofficial mascot. She is a teacup pig that has become a presence on social media with over 17,000 followers on Instagram.
Back in 2021 Firefighter Darren Harris adopted the pig from a farm in Virginia and started bringing her to work with him. Otherwise, she lives with him and his family in Middletown, NY. The link below will give you the whole story and wonderful photos of Penny.

@Deepizzaguy I think they made a good choice considering the usual dog mascot

@RasmaSandra You are right since I do not know of many firefighter headquarters that have a hog as their mascot.

@jstory07 also a cute idea to have her in the firehouse instead of the usual dog

@LadyDuck the article mentions it she is some type of miniature pig. So good as a pet and good for the firehouse,

@RasmaSandra Pigs are smart little animals, a lot smarter than people can imagine.

Penny will live a happy life at the firehouse. She'll have company 24/7.

Nobody on our place takes a pig as his pet. If he does, he will be a laughing stock.
