This adorable little piglet was saved from near death after it was found running wild on a dual carriageway.
Animal welfare officers were alerted by a truck driver who spotted the terrified landrace piglet on the A90 last week.
He informed the Scottish SPCA and one of their officers managed to catch it on a stretch of the road between Dunfermline, Fife, and the Forth Road Bridge.
Chief Inspector John Chisholm said: “The poor girl was found running about the road and was clearly frightened, she wouldn’t keep still so it was very difficult to catch her.
“Thanks to the quick and decisive actions of the HGV driver the piglet was kept out of harm’s way until I arrived.
“Had she escaped from a transporter then she should have been marked or tagged, but she had no ID of any kind.
“Luckily she didn’t have any injuries and is now safely at our Inverness centre and we’re looking to give her a new home where she can spend the rest of her days.”
Anyone who recognises the piglet is being urged to contact the Scottish SPCA’s Inverness centre on 03000 999 999.
