Piglet that jumped from truck on the highway to get a new home
Written by Angie Sharma on October 3, 2025
Animal rescuers in Iowa said a piglet that made a daring leap from the back of a truck on the highway will have a new forever home at a sanctuary.
Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control said on social media that the young pig, dubbed Peppa in honor of the cartoon pig, “decided she was destined for hogging the spotlight and made a daring leap off a truck on Highway 100.”
CRACC said Peppa was lucky to escape serious injuries.
“She’s got a few bruises and some road rash, but otherwise she’s doing sow well. Today she enjoyed what is likely her very first taste of grass (and lots of staff cuddles, of course),” the post said.
The organization said it is working with the Iowa Farm Sanctuary to find a new permanent home for Peppa to live out her life in comfort.
