Spike the Warthog - Napping by the fire

Fact or fiction? The email was forwarded to me. Either way it's a great fireside tale.

I had an email from a friend in Zimbabwe yesterday and she sent me this picture and story that I thought was delightful. They had been away at a game park and on the first evening while sitting in front of the fire in the bar, in walked a fully grown wart hog. He walked over to the bar and without a word the bar man handed him a pillow. He took the pillow, put it next to the fire and promptly lay down with his head on the pillow and went to sleep where, apparently he spends the cold nights there. Then in the morning he’s off into the bush again! My friend, Cynie, says that if the barman isn’t there he’ll grab a pillow off one of the couches! Here he is :

The pillow certainly has a used, grubby warthog look about it. I suspect he's just a not-so-wild warthog that grew up around the lodge. Certainly a happy hog.
