We're coming up on the one-year anniversary of a noble rescue worthy of the movie, Babe.

After an early morning fire broke out at a Mount Carmel, Illinois home, Lucky the pet pig flew into action, screaming, squealing, and slamming into the bedroom door.

Lucky's alarm saved the lives of Ina Farler and her two grandchildren just before 5am.

"He loves my grandkids to death," she said of their potbelly pal. "Pigs are loving. They can be very protective."
