Keep in mind that pot belly pigs are NOT the breed used for bacon/pork. Farm pigs can be nasty SOBs.

I saw this story on TV, and it was heartwarming to see the extent that "Lulu" took to save the woman's life. I may never eat another BLT.

Pig dashes into street for heart attack victim

JoAnn Altsman had a heart attack and collapsed to the ground. Lulu, her daughter's pot-bellied pig, rushed out of the house, lying down in the street to stop traffic. The pig tried relentlessly to get help, returning to the house to check on JoAnn, only to rush back to the street for help. Finally, one person stopped and followed the determined pig back to the house, where they found Altsman in pain on the floor. She was immediately rushed to a hospital.
