Pink was the runt of the pig litter. He was so small that the Kerby family didn"t think he would survive, so they brought him into the house where he met Tink, a new dachshund mom. When Tink saw Pink, she immediately adopted him into her family, and helped nurse him back to health. Pink thrived in his new family. The puppies didn"t mind that Pink looked nothing like them; he was just their size. Readers of all ages will be captivated by these adorable animals and the amazing bond that they share.
