A kitten-sized piglet now weighs 330 pounds and comes when called

A piglet found alone on the side of a road in England in March, one day old and roughly the size of a kitten, now weighs around 330 pounds and comes when called. Carole Webb, an 82-year-old retired veterinary nurse who runs the Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary in Stratford-upon-Avon, took him in after a stranger kept him safe overnight. Webb believes a sow gave birth while being transported and the piglet fell from the trailer. She hand-reared him indoors with hot water bottles and heat pads. Named Tom, after the Lord of the Rings character Tom Bombadil, he now roams a three-acre field and acts more like a dog than a pig. “He’s really friendly with the chickens, he’s got a lot of chicken and cat friends,” Webb told SWNS. He also has a big fluffy toy pig. He likes to lie on top of it.
