Theodore The Pig Analysis

One of the most common warnings told is, do not trust people on the Internet. One could say that buying Theodore off the internet was a terrible idea. Theodore the pig is the ugliest creature alive. Quite possibly so ugly that one would be frightened for their safety when entering upon him. It did not start out this way, during infantry Theodore was commonly referred to as “Theodorable.” It does not take long to explain how things took a turn for the worst. The piglet that was once nicknamed “Theodorable” is quite ironic, for how unsightly he became. Being careful on the internet is not an uncomprehensive rule. For a while it was hard to see the terrible mistake that had been made. Due to reality television shows, teacup pigs were trending.

It was impossible to fit him in the crate he came in now. The instructions that were shipped with Theodore explained that was he was restricted to half a cup of food, twice a day. Although he ended up receiving more because he acted hungry all the time. Theodore seemed like the perfect pet, not only was he cute, he used his litter box exceptionally well. Throughout the day he would follow around the dogs and at night he would sleep inside the confines of his gate.

His once buttery, pink skin had stretched and rubbed into a leather that pricked one’s fingers with coarse hair. Ultimately, the life of a free-range pig had changed Theodore. He remained the friendly pig he was, but showed signs of freedom. The hooves that were manicured and pink were overgrown and brittle. His perfectly round snout was embellished with tusks. Theodore now resembled his relative the warthog. Upon further inspection, it was determined that Theodore is actually a ‘pot-belly pig’ which is basically a shorter version of a regular pig. Due to how ugly Theodore truly is, “Theodorable” is quite fitting. One could learn from Theodore to be careful before making purchases off the internet. Unfortunately, it is not Theodore’s fault he is so ugly. Theodore truly
