Brave pig dives in water to rescue baby goat from drowning

September 26, 2012

It's not often you hear a story like this one, and luckily it was all caught on tape.

A baby goat had fallen into deep water at a petting zoo pond and could barely stay afloat. As it began to panic and yell for help, a surprising hero came to the rescue.

The pig dove into the water, swam straight to the drowning goat and nudged it safely to shore. I'm pretty sure no one would believe this story if it had not been caught on camera.

This is not your ordinary hero. As a matter of fact most people stereotype pigs as fat and lazy creatures. This brave pig showed us that the entire animal kingdom is full of heroes, good instincts, and inspiration. Don't think it's just humans.

One of the best parts of this video is at the end when the cameraman says, "And there he is...the hero pig!"
