A Belgian couple shares their home with a wild boar.

L'Avenir writes about it.

Tiffany and Gregory, a couple from the Wallonia region, have been living in the same house with rescued Oscar for over a year. It all started about a year ago, during a hunting trip, when Gregory Gio brought home a 700-gram boar that his dogs had found. It was December 6, St. Nicholas Day, and Gregory didn't have the heart to just leave the helpless animal free where it would most likely die. Instead, he brought it home to his partner Tiffany Pierre.

At first, the lovers did not even think about leaving the boar, instead focusing on caring for him and finding another solution. However, Tiffany and Gregory became more and more attached to the little animal every day. Afterwards, the couple, with tears in their eyes, took little Oscar to a farm where he would be well taken care of.

"A few days later we called and asked to pick him up because he was literally starving himself," said Tiffany. Gregory told her that if they followed Oscar, they would never be able to let him go again, and the year-old boar was now part of their family.

They took Oscar into their home, and although they had to adjust to his behavior, they couldn't imagine life without him.

Oscar has his own couch, pillows and blankets, and he defends his territory when guests get too close to his property. He gets up and starts growling, but his owners explain to everyone that it's just his wild instincts. Now the weight of the boar is 80 kilograms. Oscar is already incredibly strong, but he is still growing and will probably reach 120 kilograms in about a year.

Boars are known for their intelligence and extremely strong sense of smell, and Oscar is no exception. When he smells something edible in the cupboard, he will stop at nothing to get to it. That's why his owners never leave food where the boar can get to it, and also removed the handles from all the cupboards just in case.

Oscar has a very healthy appetite. Every day he eats 1.5 to 2 kg of food, mostly vegetables and dry bread, although he does not mind eating sweets from time to time.

Read the leading news of the day:

The boar has adapted to a domestic lifestyle. He never defecates in the house, but instead alerts his owners when he needs to go outside. And every time he comes back inside, he doesn't mind brushing his hooves.

"I sleep with him on the couch," Tiffany said. He can't sleep alone, even when I take a shower, he sometimes has a hard time. Gregory is sleeping alone upstairs, I think Oscar has some kind of Oedipus complex.

"Maybe it wasn't my best idea," joked Gregory Gio about the decision to share a house with a wild boar, but he can't imagine his life without the furry beast. He and Tiffany don't have any kids yet, so they're spoiling Oscar instead.

We will remind you that earlier a Ukrainian

that he found on the front line. The soldier fed the animal with milk from a bottle with his own hands.
