http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071120/od_nm/...9MW6onplaHtiBIF Well, we've had a story about a house shaped like a toilet bowl, so here's something to do with toilet paper .... LONDON (Reuters) - A piglet nicknamed Andrex is recovering after being found in the back of a truck full of toilet paper at a supermarket. The animal, thought to be two or three weeks old, was discovered in a delivery at a Tesco store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Staff wrapped the piglet in a duvet and called the RSPCA, a Tesco spokesman said Tuesday. He was taken to an animal shelter in Radcliffe-on-Trent, outside Nottingham, suffering from cuts and bruises to his snout. "We will now care for him until he is fit enough to be found a permanent home," said Ella Herring, the shelter's deputy manager. Tesco said store workers were unsure of how the piglet came to be on the truck, but thought it may have been a prank. "Staff are used to dealing with the unexpected, but little Andrex's arrival was a shock," a Tesco spokesman said. "They took it in their stride, wrapping him up straightaway in a duvet in the manager's office and calling the RSPCA for advice and help." ---------------------------------- Sounds like the little guy will be OK, thankfully. |

Poor little thing. I'll bet he's as cute as a button. I'm glad he's okay. |

I wonder how he got into the truck to begin with?
At least the little piggy will be okay. |

I'm glad he went to Tesco instead of the market. |

I'm always amazed when I read stories about animals that survive upto weeks being trapped inside trucks and cargo holds. |
