A new turn in a story of remarkable recovery. Remember Cheesedoodle? She's the pet pot-bellied pig, left for dead back in December.
"Oh my gosh she was horrible, somebody tried to chop her head off," Last Chance Ranch Owner Lori McCutcheon said. "It was bloody, it was right down to the bone, I don't even know how she survived."
Ranch hands at Last Chance Ranch Animal Rescue in Quakertown took her in, gave her food, water shelter and most importantly affection. Initially it was thought the humane thing to do was to euthanize the pig. But it was Cheesedoodle's miraculous recovery and charming personality that won over her caretakers.
"It is amazing to me how forgiving she is, and how trusting she is," Last Chance Ranch Kennel Manager AnnMarie Petitto-Thomas said.
They say a mother's instinct is one of the most powerful forces on Earth, and it may have been just that, that got Cheesedoodle through one of the toughest times in her life. The pot-bellied pig was making a speedy recovery, impressing ranch hands while simultaneously wiggling her way into their hearts. No one could have guessed what would happen next.
"She was healing really, really well and we're thinking, pretty soon we can put her up for adoption," McCutcheon said. "We walk in Saturday morning and 'oh my gosh!'"
Cheesedoodle had brought four baby piglets into the world.
"I think she just had that will to live," McCutcheon said. "I'm a mom of three and nothing is going to stop me from my kids!"
The group is affectionately referred to as the 'snack pack' complete with Chex, Triscuit, Chip and Pringle.
It is an ending to a story that McCutcheon could have never imagined.
"People should get along this well and not be as miserable to each other," McCutcheon said. "Because this is just a miracle."
In six weeks when the piglets are more mature, the entire snack pack will be up for adoption. McCutcheon says she will do everything in her power to make sure they head to loving homes.
McCutcheon also says her ranch is in need of donations. For more information, click here.
