Bookroo's summary

When the Kerby family rescues a tiny piglet named Pink, they never expect him to find a new mother in Tink, a nurturing dachshund. As Pink grows alongside his puppy siblings, he discovers a heartwarming bond that defies appearances. Will this unlikely family thrive against the odds? Discover the touching tale of Pink and Tink, where love knows no bounds and family comes in all shapes and sizes.

From the publisher

Pink was the runt of the pig litter. He was so small that the Kerby family didn’t think he would survive–so they brought him into the house where he met Tink, a new dachshund mom. When Tink saw Pink, she immediately adopted him into her family, and helped nurse him back to health. Pink thrived in his new family: the puppies didn’t mind that Pink looked nothing like them–he was just their size.This remarkable story has already garnered a great deal of media attention: the irresistible photographs documenting Pink and Tink’s relationship have appeared on Good Morning America and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Readers of all ages will be captivated by these adorable animals and the amazing bond that they share.
