ALIQUIPPA — A missing potbellied pig, who also serves as a therapy animal, has been returned to its owners.

Owner Katie Manni says in an e-mail to The Associated Press that Charlotte has been found and is back home Friday. She didn’t provide any other details.

The Vietnamese potbellied pig was last seen July 11.

Charlotte served as a therapy animal at Beaver Elder Care and Rehab Center in Hopewell Township. She helped cheer up residents there.

Manni and her fiance, Edward Perry, got Charlotte in February when she was 6 weeks old.

The pig was left in a car with a pair of pugs for about 10 minutes in July while Perry ran into the center to get keys from Manni, who directs nurses there.

When he returned, the pig was gone.
