Piglet Brings Comfort To Epileptic Girl
Piglet Brings Comfort To Epileptic Girl
Melanie Gomez is frequently asked why she has a pet pig, and here is her story: "I was diagnosed with epilepsy in college. A week after I got married, I went from having one or two seizures a year to eight to ten a day. Daily activities became like climbing Everest to me. My husband wanted a companion for me, but he is extremely allergic to dogs and cats. I showed him a video of a mini pig playing with a dog and he was sold.
Hamlet came to me in a seemingly hopeless situation. She never left my side on my worst days and was always ready to play. She’s the reason I took up photography. I wanted to capture all of our silly adventures and share her amazing personality.
Hamlet saved me. My epilepsy taught me how frail life can be. Hamlet taught me that life is a beautiful gift despite its frailty. I hope Hamlet’s photos bring you as much joy, laughter and love as she’s brought me."
We've all heard of service dogs, but by many estimations, pigs are even more intelligent than dogs. Hamlet has certainly proven herself capable! Thanks to the internet, we hear amazing animal stories every day, stories that shatter our preconceptions about various species.
The internet also enables us to bring you KindMeal.my -- Malaysia's platform to promote compassionate, meat-free dining. You won't find any Hamlets on http://KindMeal.my, but you will find enticing promotions!
