THE HERO PIG THAT SAVED A LIFE
A pig is “an animal with no fur and a curly tail kept by farmers for its meat.” said by Macmillan. It is scientifically proven that pigs are intelligent, this is controversial because they are more intelligent than a three year old child, because they are curious, intuitive and sincere. Pigs have a good long-term memory and the ability to recognize objects.
Lulu was a pot-bellied pig that was born in Pennsylvania in the 90’s. Her owner took Lulu to live with Jo Ann, the owner’s mother, in 1997. She was a very smart and protective pig. She developed a strong relationship with Jo Ann and her husband so she stayed with them instead of going back with her original owner. In 1998, Jo Ann had a heart attack and her husband was out in a trip. Their dog started barking really loud but no one was around to hear.
Lulu rolled Jo Ann to the door and went out to the street through the fence to get help. She played dead in order to get someone’s attention and it worked! A driver that was passing by saw her and went to check on her, she led him back to the trailer, where he found JoAnn and called 911. Thanks to the bright intelligence of Lulu Jo Ann survived and had a wonderful recovery. “Has 15 more minutes passed and she would have died” the doctor said.

Lulu was rewarded in different ways for saving a life. “The pig made news in USA Today magazine and People.� said by Bles. Obviously, Lulu received a medal for her actions. She apparently has a statue in the providence where she lived. Ever since this happened Jo ann gives Lulu one donut every day. She also achieved fame by making appearances in the Oprah show and the Late Late show. For these reasons Lulu the pig is considered a hero.
