True Tales: An Abandoned Piglet Becomes an Anti-Bullying Mascot

Someone abandoned a Julianna piglet in a sealed bin on the side of the interstate in February. The state police contacted me, and I adopted her. Local news did a story on the animal abuse and debunked false information about “mini” and “micro” pigs. Olive became our mascot and attends anti-bullying fundraisers at area high schools. — Carly Buswell, Cosmo’s Cuts Pet Grooming Boutique, Isle La Motte, VT
