Lulu, a Vietnamese pig, is a very smart pet. She BELONGS TO Jo Ann Altsman, 57.
One day when Jo Ann was alone at home, she had a heart attack. She HAD TROUBLE breathing and fell to the floor. She WAS AT DEATH'S DOOR. But Lulu SAVED THE DAY. The pig ran into the fenced-in yard. Somehow she pushed the gate open. Then she walked into the middle of the road and LAY DOWN. A surprised motorist stopped and got out of his car. Lulu GOT UP and led the man into the house. He quickly called an ambulance. When the ambulance SHOWED UP, Lulu tried to get in too. "She's very, very smart," the lucky owner said later. |
