This Adorable Puppy is the Sweetest Piglet Lookalike!
Are you ready to meet the cutest little puppy, who looks just as though he’s come straight from the Hundred Acre Wood?
This is Piglet, a tiny, adorable puppy who looks just like his namesake from Winnie the Pooh. With his big ears, precious snout-nose and pinkish coat, it’s easy to see why his family named him ‘Piglet’.
Due to unfair, unsafe breeding, Piglet is sadly both deaf and blind. However, these challenges haven’t stopped him one bit.
In this beautiful video by Good Morning America as part of their ‘Furbabies’ segment, Piglet’s owner Melissa speaks of how he came into her life, and how he’s inspired her and many others.

However, this Piglet isn’t as timid as Winnie the Pooh’s Piglet. As we can see in the video, he’s a feisty pup with a strong bark – not a stutter in sight!
But, he is ever so loving and protective of his family, which is just as heartwarming to see.
Melissa and Piglet first met when he was just two pounds in weight, fostering him with the intention of finding him a safe, forever home later on. Melissa, who is a veterinarian, worked hard with the excitable puppy to train him up to be the perfect companion, using techniques such as tapping and helping him into a routine.
Thanks to this beautiful journey the two shared, Melissa fell for Piglet – affectionately known as Piggy – and decided to keep him herself. We’re so happy he has found such a loving, caring home!
Inspired by Piglet and his incredible resiliance, Melissa has now put Piglet’s story on paper, releasing a novel for the world to read. Piglet: The Unexpected Story of Deaf, Blind, Pink Puppy and His Family is available as a hardback book, eBook and audiobook on Amazon, Piglet’s website, or from other good booksellers.
Piglet is also a social media star in his own right, so to follow along on his journey make sure you go and check him out on Facebook or Instagram.
