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 91裸聊视频渨as going to have babies any day.91裸聊视频�

She drove out there, and while they found a pig 91裸聊视频� it wasn91裸聊视频檛 pregnant.

After talking to some people in the area to see if the pig had a home, Hegel didn91裸聊视频檛 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 didn91裸聊视频檛 know if the pig would need to be sedated for the trimming, so she brought the pig inside to keep her away from food.

91裸聊视频淪he got quite accustomed to laying on that (dog) bed in the house. Last night I couldn91裸聊视频檛 get her back outside.91裸聊视频�

Now more than a week after rescuing her, Hegel said they91裸聊视频檝e decided to keep the pig.

91裸聊视频淚f she does well with the herd 91裸聊视频� which I91裸聊视频檓 pretty sure she91裸聊视频檚 going to 91裸聊视频� then I don91裸聊视频檛 want to upset her and move her again. I think staying here is probably best. She91裸聊视频檚 getting quite used to us,91裸聊视频� 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, 91裸聊视频渁bsolutely loved her and he broke through the fence to be with her.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淪o now as a joke we call him Porky Pig and she91裸聊视频檚 his Petunia.91裸聊视频�
