Transcript

00:00I had no idea that he loved pumpkins until this first Halloween.

00:04He was going to find a way to get out and get people's pumpkins.

00:08I didn't realize pigs could be such escape artists.

00:12It didn't matter what I tried.

00:14Changing the locks, changing the leash.

00:18He was able to open the door to his room, the door to the house.

00:30Okay, so the weirdest thing just happened.

00:32I came outside.

00:34My pig is eating the face off of a jack-o'-lantern, which would be totally fine,

00:38except I did not carve a jack-o'-lantern this year.

00:41So, someone out there is missing their pumpkin.

00:44When I first heard about this pumpkin thief pig, I knew I wanted to produce a video about him,

00:48but I had no idea the story was about to take an unexpected twist.

00:52How are you feeling? Are you nervous about how the neighbors are going to react?

00:56Yes, I was very nervous when I saw that Carlton had torn up someone's jack-o'-lantern.

01:01I went to our neighborhood group and just made a post apologizing.

01:06But everyone was amazing.

01:09Thank you, guys!

01:11After Halloween, everybody wanted to bring their pumpkins to Carlton.

01:16Do you want to give him one?

01:19Good job!

01:21Carlton, you have a visitor!

01:26Is that Carl?

01:28We would come outside and there would be pumpkins sat all over the porch for Carlton to eat.

01:35Can you say, Carlton? Carlton!

01:39Carlton ate so many pumpkins in the front yard.

01:42He's rolling it so the seeds will fall out.

01:46And when pigs eat, they kind of take their nose like a shovel and smear stuff around.

01:50So, I think he just planted his own garden.

01:54In the spring, a complete surprise to me.

01:57My entire front yard sprouted into a pumpkin patch.

02:03They're everywhere.

02:07So now, Carlton grows his own pumpkins.

02:11He grew himself a pumpkin patch?

02:13He did, yeah.

02:15No, he didn't.

02:16It was a total surprise to me.

02:18The next thing I knew, we had like 200 pumpkins in the front yard.

02:22Carlton, look what you grew!

02:26After I realized how much Carlton loved pumpkins,

02:29I kind of asked the neighbors, what does everyone do with their jack-o-lanterns after Halloween?

02:33And found out that most people were just composting them or throwing them away.

02:36So, last Halloween, we asked the neighbors if we could have their pumpkins

02:40and they went above and beyond.

02:42So, we were able to take those pumpkins and donate them to the pig rescue

02:46where I actually rescued Carlton.

02:50I was fortunate to get a chance to meet up with Carlton and Amanda in person.

02:55Amazing!

02:56To help deliver pumpkins to some very grateful pigs.

02:59This is like Dodo Inception.

03:01Dodo Inception!

03:05You gotta be fast!

03:08To anyone out there who thinks they might have an opportunity to smash pumpkins for rescue pigs,

03:13I say take it immediately.

03:15It is the best.

03:20Which one is this Tracy?

03:22It was never my intention to start one of the city's largest green initiatives.

03:26I'm so glad that we did, but that's just Carlton.
