Here's the moment we've been waiting for all summer. Amy Trotter's big screen debut, starring in a promotional video for the Central Washington State Fair.
Amy makes it look easy, but this short film required months of practice and rehearsal. I had some Access Hollywood insider information about the challenge of adapting canine training techniques to the porcine personality. For piggies, sweet treats are much more effective than pats and praise (doggies.)
Actually, to say Amy is "food-motivated" is a bit of an understatement. It sounds like she will do just about anything for a single gum drop, the ultimate incentive held in careful reserve for training emergencies by Lori, her owner.
Lori said Amy Trotter did not care for that plain old pile of corn they tried to tempt her with during filming. No wonder! That's food for farm animals, not movie stars. But like any good professional, Amy made a show of eating it. She also pretended to have fun on the twirly ride with Lori, although that wasn't quite her thing.
Well, we knew her when she was just an upstart piglet at a dog show.
And what's next for Miss Amy Trotter, actress?
