Arnold Schwarzenegger took to Instagram to show off his new pet pig.

Its name is Schnelly. The name derives from the German word “Chnell,” meaning fast.

Schnelly joins several other pets in the actor and former California governor’s household, People reports. Schwarzenegger has a dog, a miniature horse and a donkey.

He reports that Schnelly is getting along well with the other animals.

Schwarzenegger was inspired by fellow actor George Clooney, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

“I always liked that he was into pigs; he has this little pig that he takes everywhere. So I bought a pig right after that,” he said.

NASC Media Spotlight

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
