Did you know that the Guinea hogs at Franklin Park Zoo are trained to walk on leash? CAN YOU STAND IT? This is Julia and Annabelle. (Julia is the Zookeeper)

Guinea hogs are an endangered breed of domestic swine, developed in the United States and once one of the most popular pig breeds, now fewer than 200 are here. This is Grace and Cordelia (Grace is the zookeeper).

PIGGIES!! Big or small, I love them all! *grin* Though I do admit to having favorites. The Warty and Red River.. so freaking adorable. :)

I would give more money to Heifer International if they were doing more to save these rare breeds. Also I love piggies.
