Perry and Liz Smith and their kids had plans for an interesting vacation in
Pennsylvania to enjoy Ski trip. Their vacation's plans got interrupted when the resort they were heading to faced a huge blizzard last week. So the family decided to stay in a hotel in
Maryland to wait until the storm ends.
The family noticed something pink covered in the snow in their road!
It was a baby pig “half-frozen and stuck in the snow and ice, by the side of the highway,” described their friend Sarah Pekkanan. “Right behind them was a huge snowplow that would have buried the pig.”
They took the little piglet from the snow and they were not certain if it was still alive or dead! But when it let out a squeal they knew he was still alive!
“They freed it, warmed it up, and smuggled it up a stairwell of the resort wrapped in a sweatshirt,” says Sarah.
“It slept in their kids’ arms last night while they tried to figure out what to feed it (Piggy didn’t want warm milk).”
The family thought that the little piglet must have fallen out of a transport truck and disappeared in the snow bank.
I believe the family was sent there to save the little piglet!
The family took the piglet and named him
Wee Wee and made sure that he is safe, warm and well fed while the snowstorm raging outsie!
At first the family didn't know what to do exactly with the baby pig so they got in touch with
Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in
Maryland who accepted to take
Wee Wee.
“To be frank, it is going to be heartbreaking to give him up and I am sure there will be many tears,” said the Smiths.
“It is for the best though and Wee Wee will always be part of our family,” says the family. “He has changed our lives in the best way possible! It is nice knowing we can visit Wee Wee any time at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary”
Share this unexpected and amazing rescue with your family and friends!
