Pig gets facelift

A pig is to get a facelift in Australia.

Three-year-old Boris has gotten so fat his eyebrows cover his eyes and a vet has agreed to carry out a brow-lifting operation to put them back.

The quarter-tonne porker will be ferried via horse-trailer to have the surgery done so his sight can be restored.

Boris's weight - which has ballooned despite his owners' efforts to put him on a diet - has made him a local celebrity in his hometown of Rosewater, Adelaide and he can often be seen trotting around the community sports hall there.
