Little Dude was rescued at only four days old with a bacterial infection in his back leg. The runt of the litter, he was found by a woman who noticed his injuries while touring a farm with her daughter. His siblings had chewed on his leg, and the wound and bone underneath were infected. She took him away from the farm hoping she could help find him a better chance at life. She called us and the rest is a happier history.
Little Dude was in and out of the hospital for weeks. He wore a cast on his back leg but his cheerful piglet attitude never wavered. After the initial antibiotics failed to stop the infection, we surgically removed the infected piece of bone from his leg so it couldn’t spread and kill him. Because he was so young the bone grew back normal, and Little Dude was given a second chance at living a full, normal and happy life!
Little Dude defied the odds at a remarkably young age and captured the hearts of so many followers online in the process. Little Dude has a versatile, laid-back attitude. He grew up alongside the farm dogs, goats and sheep, and cows. He loves grazing with the cows, wallowing in mud and human affection.
