Mr. Banks is 1,100 pounds of love and now you could be the proud owner of a portrait of him and help out where the pig lives at Critteraid animal sanctuary in Summerland.

This weekend the well loved big pig celebrated his birthday with some belly rubs, a nap and some of his favourite foods.

Mr. Banks has long won the hearts of volunteers who care for him at the Citteraid farm where he came to live in 2017.
