HERO HOG SAVES PAĽS BACON!

HAMILTON the pig is being hailed as a hero after saving his owner's bacon during a raging house fire!

U.S. Navy veteran Gilbert Anaya, 30, squeals his 500-pound pet pig trotted to the rescue when his house in Union, N.J., went up in flames.

Anaya says the April 11 fire began when a surge protector in the garage short-circuited and set Hamilton's bedding on fire.
