The Piglet Mindset: Featuring Piglet the Deaf/Blind Pink Puppy!

When Connecticut veterinarian Melissa Shapiro gets a call about a tiny deaf-blind puppy rescued from a hoarding situation in need of fostering, she doesn’t hesitate to say, “yes.” Little does she know how that decision will transform her, her family, and legions of admirers destined to embrace the saga of the indomitable pink pup.

Curious, engaged, and incredibly eager to learn, Piglet quickly became part of the family. What started out as a few simple Facebook posts of Piglet and his pack rapidly evolved into a global celebration of Piglet’s infectiously positive mindset. Piglet: The Unexpected Story of a Deaf, Blind, Pink Puppy and His Family fully illustrates this heartwarming story of one special little puppy with a purpose to teach the power of empathy, love, and kindness. Join us to meet Piglet in person!

Melissa Shapiro, DVM, is a veterinarian and a lifelong animal welfare advocate.

Her nonprofit organization, Piglet International Inc., supports the Piglet Mindset Educational Outreach. She lives in Connecticut with her husband Warren, six rescued dogs, three rescued birds, and Piglet, the deaf-blind pink puppy.
