2004 Boss Hog...

This is the tale of one little pig - Boss Hog. Less than 24 hours after
being born, he was found all alone on a busy Norfolk road with his
umbilical cord still attached. He was brought to Hillside where we
bottle fed him and gave him lots of TLC. Boss Hog had a very happy
life and made many friends at Hillside. We were so pleased to have
the chance to know him in the years he was with us...
We have often given sanctuary to several day-old piglets who have
been found, newly-born, on highways. Sows often give birth on the
way to the slaughterhouse and the tiny piglets fall through the slats of
the lorries on to the road.
