St. Bonaventure called non-human animals “creatures without sin.”
Raffy and Henry, though entirely different species, forged a beautiful and loving friendship.
Henry the pig was rescued from a factory farm when he was just a few days old. He was born in a farrowing crate, weak and cold, where his mom couldn’t even move around, let alone take proper care of him.
Henry would have died if he had not been rescued by Brightside Farm Sanctuary.
While still a piglet, Henry met Raffy, a Golden Retriever who was born blind. Raffy became little Henry’s “mum” and best friend. Pig and dog would sleep, play, and even go for walks together.
Now, Henry the pig is sick and dying. But his faithful friend, Raffy, will remain by his side to the end.
If you don’t already, you should know that the pork you buy in stores most likely came from a factory farm where pigs, cows, and chicken live their entire wretched lives, from birth to death, in cramped cages, and fed food loaded with hormones and antibiotics.
God bless the good folks of Brightside Farm Sanctuary in Tasmania, Australia! Click here for their website.
