Potbelly Pigs are Life-Savers

I stumbled upon this quick story in my browsing:

Many people owe their lives to the tender protection and brave acts of other animals. Here is a simple story about one remarkable pig, there are many other stories just like this one. JoAnn Altsman had a heart attack and collapsed to the ground. Lulu, her daughter’s pot-bellied pig, rushed out of the house, lying down in the street to stop traffic. The pig tried relentlessly to get help, returning to the house to check on JoAnn, only to rush back to the street desperate for help. Finally, one person stopped and followed the determined pig back to the house, where they found JoAnn in pain on the floor. She was immediately rushed to a hospital.

What a courageous pig!  This actually reminds me of a time awhile back when Finnemore and Chesapeake were wee ones and some piece of packaging sitting next to the stovetop caught fire.  Not a human soul was in sight.  But suddenly little squeaks broke out in the back area and two little pigs showed up in the TV room in an excitable state.  At first, I didn’t think much of it and they went away, but then came back in the same excitable state trying to get someone to follow.   Needless to say, we followed; the fire was put out (no damage done); and our pigs were heralded as heroes.  Take that, Lassie.

UPDATE:  Humans can be life-savers too.
