Orphaned piglet Frank finds his forever home

He attracted the attention of thousands of people when he was looking for family to love.

And now little Frank, who is almost 10 weeks old, has started a new life with five rescue pigs and a huge area of land for snuffling and wallowing.

And for now he is living in the family kitchen and is being introduced gradually to his porcine pals.

Frank stole the hearts of many when we revealed he had been orphaned after his mother died in birth and he was the only one of the piglets to survive.

The team from Almost Home Animal Rescue, Co Down , said: "This is the first picture of Frank in his forever home with a lovely family who have five other rescue pigs and a huge amount of land.

"Frank will be in the house for a further few weeks and introduced slowly to his friends and the outdoors."
