This Piglet Was Saved By A Family Just Before It Froze To Death During The Blizzard
The young pig was found shivering along the side of a small road in Maryland as a massive blizzard hit the Northeast.
Perry Smith and his family hit a snag in their ski plans on Friday when the resort they were headed to in Pennsylvania closed ahead of the massive blizzard last weekend.

The family decided to stay at a hotel in Maryland to wait out the storm. But on their way, Smith noticed a "white, pink lump" in the snow along the side of the road. The family pulled over to discover it was a pig.

"My inital thought was it was a raccoon walking along the side of the road," Smith told BuzzFeed News. "But there was a trail so I stopped and said, 'Let's go back and take a look.'"
His son Perry Smith Jr., who was in the passenger's seat, rolled down the window as the car rolled up to the side of the animal.
"What is that thing?" Smith asked.
"Dad, I think it's a pig," said his son.
Smith said the pig was very still and he was not sure if it was dead or alive. He picked it up and it let out a piercing squeal.
