Piglet: The Unexpected Story of a Deaf, Blind, Pink Puppy and His Family by Melissa Shapiro

I’m not going to lie, you may need a box of tissues nearby for this one, but it’s so worth it…. Piglet is the story of how a tiny blind, deaf, pink puppy was rescued by a veterinarian and her family and how this very special member of their household became an inspiration to thousands via social media. Piglet’s journey from his emergency rescue from a hoarder home to the happy little dog with an infectious enthusiasm for life that he is today, demonstrates the healing power of love, empathy, and kindness.
