The Dodo's Executive Producer Joanna Zelman took a road trip with a piglet and a calf 4 years ago. It was one of our favorite stories ever, so we checked back in on them to see if it lasted... ❤️
Special thank you to everyone who shared their story with us!

It was so beautiful to see the calf and the piglet enjoying absolute freedom. The only thing that breaks my heart is that their mothers will never experience that amazing feeling. They will keep confined to their miserable existences. How painful!! Anyway, thank you, thank you for saving their babies and giving them a wonderful life.

The calf watching the sky for the first time ❤😭 it's horrendous what humans do to ANY living beings that can be turned to profit. Thank you for covering this story, it's so important to constantly remind people that animals FEEL all the emotions we do - sorrow, frustration, joy, etc. They deserve our respect. And thank you to all the animal sanctuaries for the endless work they do to provide safety and love to their resident animals ❤

Plot twist: the passenger and the driver also fell in love. Founded an animal rescue farm in Savannah, GA, named it "The Calf and the Pig Farm" and lived happily ever after......... Double plot twist: apparently, she has a husband. This is going to be made into a movie. Suggestions for actors: Gal Gadot for the female lead; Brad Pitt for the male lead and Ed O'Neil for the home-alone husband?
