After being rescued from a B.C. highway rest stop, a pig has a new name and a new home.

Kerri Hegel said she received a call June 15 for a possibly pregnant pig at a rest stop north of Hixon, adding she was told the pig 香蕉视频直播渨as going to have babies any day.香蕉视频直播�

She drove out there, and while they found a pig 香蕉视频直播� it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 pregnant.

After talking to some people in the area to see if the pig had a home, Hegel didn香蕉视频直播檛 have any luck and loaded up the pig and brought her home.

Hegel runs PG Tickled Pig Rescue in Prince George, and noticing the pig had overgrown hooves, they booked her in for veterinary appointment.

On Thursday (June 22), the pig had her hooves trimmed as they were giving her a hard time walking.

Hegel said she didn香蕉视频直播檛 know if the pig would need to be sedated for the trimming, so she brought the pig inside to keep her away from food.

香蕉视频直播淪he got quite accustomed to laying on that (dog) bed in the house. Last night I couldn香蕉视频直播檛 get her back outside.香蕉视频直播�

Now more than a week after rescuing her, Hegel said they香蕉视频直播檝e decided to keep the pig.

香蕉视频直播淚f she does well with the herd 香蕉视频直播� which I香蕉视频直播檓 pretty sure she香蕉视频直播檚 going to 香蕉视频直播� then I don香蕉视频直播檛 want to upset her and move her again. I think staying here is probably best. She香蕉视频直播檚 getting quite used to us,香蕉视频直播� explained Hegel, adding her 13-year-old daughter has grown close to the pig.

The family has also decided on a name, Petunia.

Hegel said one of their other pigs, Rupert, 香蕉视频直播渁bsolutely loved her and he broke through the fence to be with her.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淪o now as a joke we call him Porky Pig and she香蕉视频直播檚 his Petunia.香蕉视频直播�
