Family saves lost piglet from freezing in the blizzard

And they documented every step of their journey

This little piggy was saved from the freezing cold when a family noticed him on the side of the road during a blizzard in America.

The Smiths were returning from their family holiday when they noticed the little piglet – who they named “Wee Wee” – struggling in the snow.

The family nursed him back to health by wrapping him in blankets and feeding him meals of smashed bananas.

“I told the kids, ‘Listen, we don’t have any choice but to take this pig in. We’re gonna see if we can’t warm him up…when we get to the hotel,’” dad Perry Smith told ABC News.

The family found him a permanent home at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary as they aren’t able to keep him – he’s set to weigh in at 300 pounds or more when fully grown!

Have a look at their gorgeous journey together.
