The Blatty family has owned dogs, birds, fish, a rabbit and even a rat. The pig, though — that’s the pet that catches their Hazel Dell neighbors’ attention.

“When people find out we have a pig, it’s such a shock,” 17-year-old James Blatty said.

Puggles enjoys free run of the Blattys’ well-shaded yard.
