Pig Pig is, you guessed it, a pig (well, a piglet) in LaCenter, Wash. who defied death thanks to her farmer owner's quick thinking. The newborn's life had gotten off to a rough start when Pig Pig's mother, deathly ill from complications from labor, accidentally rolled over onto the piglet, crushing her "flat as a pancake." Fortunately owner Jeff Olsen was nearby and stepped in with heroic mouth-to-snout CPR, breathing new life into the pretty pink porker.
And that was just the beginning of Pig Pig's adventures. When her mother died shortly afterwards, Jeff's wife Heidi placed the newborn piglet with a new litter of Red Heeler puppies, hoping that the doggie mother would take to the piglet. "The mama dog looked at me like, "are you crazy?" But nature took over, her mothering instinct took over and she brought her in as one of her own," says Heidi.
Now the only problem with healthy and happy Pig Pig is that she thinks she's a dog -- and refuses to have anything to do with the other pigs on the farm.
