A family’s pet pig is turning heads in his owners’ Illinois town after picking up an unusual hobby: skateboarding. Norbert, a 150-pound black-and-white pig belonging to Vincent and Alicen Baran, has become a familiar sight to the suburban Chicago residents after learning to ride a skateboard. Vincent said: “I took one of my old skateboards and put it out and literally within seven days he was able to get his hooves on the board and push with his other hooves.” The couple said Norbert is an expert at several tricks commonly associated with dogs, including shaking hands and spinning, but the skateboarding gets him the most attention.
