He is not tagged, animal welfare staff had no way of tracing him but it is believed the piglet had been dumped unwanted.

When he was rescued, the piglet was using used a tipped-up plastic bucket as a shelter and had somehow acquired a pair of jeans which he snuggled into as makeshift bedding.

Samuel, who has one eye following a difficulties caused by a large cataract, is looking forward to introducing his piglet pal to visitors to the centre.

Visitor centre manager, Sharon Crewe, said: “This gorgeous little piglet is now in safe hands, but the one thing he’s missing is a name.

“So we’re asking people to make suggestions.

“He’ll make an excellent addition to the animals always here to meet HorseWorld visitors and we’re planning for him to be here during February half-term."
