Jennifer Landry and her family were enjoying a short vacation in the State Forest this morning when she was called by Jody Sessum also of Splendora with news of their show pig being killed by a neighbors dog.

 Landry's son will be showing a pig this year at the EMC Junior FFA Show. Several weeks ago after going through a class on selecting a pig they spent an entire day until 11 p.m. until her sons' lottery number came up to pick his pig. He was one of the ninety-nine others taking a pick of one-hundred-sixteen pigs.

Sessum's son also got his pig but was number twenty-one in the lottery.

Both families joined forces and build a shed complete with a concrete floor, metal roof, and fencing around it.

Just after 8 a.m. this morning Jody Sessum heard the pigs squealing which was out of the ordinary. When she went out she discovered a dog pacing around the pigpen and another dog, which had climbed the fence was inside the pen, 

The dog inside was tearing at the show pig's hindquarters and ear. 

As Jody started yelling her neighbor ran from next door yelling at her not to shoot her dogs. She had to actually pull her dog off the pig to stop the attack.

Landry said since the pigs were chosen out of the lottery her son will not be able to show a pig this year. Many of the students use the funds from their winnings for their college fund. Needless to say, he was in tears when she informed her son of the incident as they returned home.

Deputy Morrow, the livestock officer with Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constables Office responded to the scene to complete a report.

Montgomery Animal Control also responded but was unable to get to the dogs as the owner put them in the house and left the area before they arrived. 

Tim Hollifield with Montgomery County Animal Control said they will also be investigating and issuing citations or take any action deemed necessary.

Sessum did not believe the dogs were Pitt Bulls as she stated the owner told her she didn't realize the pigs were next door and they use their dogs for hog hunting.

Sessum said it is a common thing for the neighbor to turn the dogs out into her un-fenced yard in the morning.
