Piggy Shopping Adventure

PIGGY SHOPPING ADVENTURE
WITH PIX AND VID
By Shuk Yee Tsang
A curious pig enjoyed a fun day out shopping, exploring the aisles and picking out treats.
Mina Alali, from California, USA, took her beloved pig Merlin along on the trip, where he happily slid down his ramp and trotted through the store to help choose supplies for her pet rats.
Mina said she often brings Merlin along for errands, though it’s become trickier as he’s grown much heavier.
Inside, he sniffed the shelves, inspected toys, and even tried to grab a box of Milkbones.
The pair eventually picked out a vegetarian sausage treat for Merlin, along with new bedding and a little house for the rats.
At the end of the trip, Merlin looked delighted as he settled back into the car, clearly pleased with his shopping adventure.
The video melted hearts online, with fans calling it “Merlin’s version of Costco samples” and praising Mina for including her pig in everyday life.
Mina said. "Come shopping with us. Merlin and I are going to get some bedding for the rats.
" I want to get them a new little house they can decorate.
“He loves coming here because of all the smells.
“He hates carts and big things that move like strollers or bikes.
“So, I usually just carry what I can while he walks around.
Even Pet Smart commented, "We are so glad you stopped by with Merlin! We would love to send you some goodies.”
Another commented: "This is Merlin’s version of Costco samples"
