BLAIRSTOWN, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A pastry has helped save the life of a pot-bellied piglet that was abandoned on a busy highway in New Jersey.

A motorist called the Barnyard Sanctuary after seeing another driver toss the animal onto the side of Interstate 80 on Wednesday.

Barnyard Sanctuary Director Tamala Lester said on her Instagram page that she received a call from about a piglet running loose at a truck stop off Route 80 in Columbia, New Jersey.

The motorist stood guard by the terrified piglet for 45 minutes until she could get to the scene. Lester says she used a cherry Danish to lure the animal closer and grabbed its hind legs to take it to safety.

I have a dog and a cat (both rescue), but I've heard that these little pigs are very smart and make excellent pets...
