One little piggy will live to see another day, thanks to the generosity of a Pennsylvania community. Six-week-old Enzo had fallen off a livestock truck in Lancaster and was dodging traffic when Francesca McAndrews, 27, spotted the piglet and rushed into the road to save the animal. McAndrews soon discovered that Enzo needed at least $600 worth of surgery to fix a hernia the porker had developed in the fall. To help cover the cost, one local business hosted a "Swine & Wine" event; an online fundraiser raised another $1,650. "She's growing really fast," McAndrews told WDEL. She will take Enzo home after the piglet recovers from surgery.
