In Howell, a local man has taken pet ownership to a new level with his capybara, Daisy. The 140-pound animal has a custom room and a personal swimming pool. Her owner, Steve Spisz, describes her as a bit of a diva and compares caring for her to having a teenager.

Daisy has gained hundreds of thousands of social media followers. Spisz decided to bring a capybara home about four years ago, seeking something beyond the ordinary. He had previously owned dogs but wanted something different.

Further details about Daisy and her life in Howell are available from WXYZ Channel 7, including a video report by Jeffrey Lindblom.
