It’s amazing the kind of love that animals are capable of. Obviously, anyone who has ever been lucky enough to be the parent to a pet knows this, but it’s still so beautiful to be reminded by sweet examples like this.

You’re about to meet a Dachshund named Tink who selflessly adopted an abandoned baby piglet and raised him as her own, right alongside her other puppies. The heartwarming story has been made into a children’s book called “The Pink Puppy” written by Johanna Kerby.

In the video, we see Tink and Pink bonding instantly – Tink makes it a point to look after her piglet just as she does her puppies. And after time passes, the pair is still as close as ever. So sweet!
