A piglet is finally clean and doing well after being placed in rehab to recover from an alcohol addiction.
The pig named Eberhard was rescued by vets after being found living in a squalid flat in Germany where his owners fed him crisps and only gave him wine and spirits to drink.
He was placed in an animal shelter in Lippetal, North Rhine Westphalia, where he underwent a detox programme designed to ween him off alcohol and nurse him back to full health.
Two years on and his new owner Bianca Deichmann said Eberhard was doing well again. She said: 'Eberhard was incredibly aggressive, anxious and didn't know anything but the apartment he lived in.
