That is a great Story. I would never have thought of having a Hippo as a Pet. Maybe someone can Email them and see if they want to join BPO! (Smile)

I think I need a hippo now. Super cute, hope she stays away from the neighbours farms.

Lovely story, how cute is that!?
Too bad she refused to go back to the wild.  I hope they can find a way to keep her safe in the future.
