Her ears were dripping with blood from dog attacksJanice came to us in 2020 from a home in Clayton, NC where she was living in a fenced-in yard with aggressive dogs who had started attacking her. As often happens with dogs living with pigs, even though things may start with everyone getting along and even playing together, dogs can soon start attacking until the pig is permanently maimed (like our sweet Penny Lane) or even killed. This is the case with Janice and her dog buddies. Even though things were OK at first, soon, the dogs were biting down so hard on Janice’s ears that they started to split and bleed. We can't imagine the terror and pain she must have experienced.
Fortunately, the family realized the seriousness of the situation before it became fatal for poor Janice. We knew we had to rescue this baby when they reached out. We had to remove her from the situation immediately. Soulful, playful, and such a joyToday, Janice's ears have completely healed, although you can still see the rips and scars left over from her dog-attack ordeal. She has fully integrated into the herd and is the sweetest doll baby you've ever seen. Her personality is a bit unusual and eccentric, which makes her so special. She's pretty demanding at feeding time, and if you hold up food in front of her, you may even see her stand on her back legs and beg for it. She sometimes even sits for treats.
Janice is a soulful pig who will look straight into your eyes when you're speaking to her. And if you listen hard, she says right back in her little piggy way. We love our adorable Janice! |
