A girl took the age-old excuse of a dog eating her homework to the next level when she had to tell her teachers her family PIG had eaten her work – and she had the footage to prove it. Taylee Tinsley, 14, from Phoenix, Arizona, let out a tiny scream when she walked into her kitchen-living room and discovered hours of hard work turned into "confetti homework" all over the floor. Minutes earlier, on January 23, Taylee's parents, Jacey and Marcus, couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the torn papers strewn everywhere. Right on cue, the family's pet pig, Polly Pocket, aged two, trotted into the living room looking very proud of herself, hoping for praise from Jacey for what she thought was a task completed. It was then that Jacey, Marcus and Taylee decided to watch back their security footage, where they could see Polly head over to Taylee's bag, remove the papers, and start chewing them up. The damage to Taylee's work was so extreme, with some papers completely missing and others destroyed, that Jacey needed to email Taylee's teachers and principal, explaining what happened. Some replied saying it was the first time they’d heard of a pig eating homework, while others could only respond with laughter at the situation. Polly Pocket is very much the personality of the house, said the family, who also share their life with mini pigs Penelope and Daisy on their family social media pages @thetinsleyherd.
