Valentines abound at Farm Sanctuary

There's plenty of love to go around in the barns and fields of Farm Sanctuary this Valentine's Day.

Take a tour with National Shelter Director Susie Coston as she introduces us to some very special bonded pairs, including Bing and Bessie – two incredible geese who have lived at Farm Sanctuary for 25 years.

Also the sanctuary welcomes its newest Valentine, Petunia, the piglet (shown above snuggling with her toy), who was rescued from veterinary research and nearly died after hernia surgery.

But the tiny, four pound, piglet rallied back and is now charming the heck out of her caretakers. A Happy Valentine's Day indeed!
