Sophie the pig finds her mate in time for Valentine’s

She’s a bit of a pig and he’s a real boar but, together, they’re as happy as pigs in … love.

Despite a stormy start to the relationship, love has finally blossomed between two of Ireland’s rarest pigs.

Sophie, the rare woolly Mangalitsa, who was adopted last month after being found wandering on a Carlow mountainside, has finally found her Romeo just in time for Valentine’s Day.
