Capybara Daisy’s Sweet Life and Loss | Detroit News

Meet Daisy, the 140-pound capybara queen of Howell, Michigan, who’s got her own custom room, personal pool, and a devoted owner, Steve Spisz, who treats her like a pampered teen. Originally brought home as an alternative to dogs, Daisy quickly became family — bonding with the pets, reshaping Steve’s house for her comfort, and stealing hearts online with her cuddly antics and stubborn glares. But life took a heartbreaking turn when her brother George passed away, leaving Daisy heartbroken and quiet for weeks. Now, Steve is gently reintroducing Daisy to the world while leaning on their massive online community for support. Though another capybara might be in the future, Daisy’s healing — and Steve’s love — is the real story here. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
