In October 1998, the Pittsburg Post-Gazette reported that Lulu, a pet potbellied pig, saved the life of her owner. Lulu's owner collapsed from a heart attack. Knowing something was not right, Lulu went outside, past the yard, where she had never gone. Witnesses saw Lulu wait until a car approached, then walked onto the road and lay in front of the car. The driver stopped the car and got out. Lulu then led the man to the house where her owner lay. The man called for help and emergency crew arrived there shortly.
