A fundraiser that raked in more than half a million dollars to bring a large-animal CT scanner to Canada has turned out to be a lifesaver for Esther the Wonder Pig. Esther lives in Campbelllville, Ont., with owners Jenkins and Derek Walter, who also own the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary. The difficult diagnosis followed months of waiting and wondering after Esther stopped suddenly during one of her walks. Esther was rushed to the Ontario Veterinary College to check out what was going on, but the beloved pet was too big to fit in a CT scanner. "Esther was actually diagnosed with breast cancer," explained Jenkins.
