Wild boar becomes household pet

A Belgian husband and wife have adopted a wild boar and taken to him so much that he is living inside their home. Gregory Guiot discovered the boar they call Oscar as a small piglet during a hunting trip with his dogs and decided to take him in to care for temporarily. More than a year and  80-kilogram later Oscar is toilet trained and quite at home. He’s even got his own sofa, pillows and blanket.
