Babe the orphaned piglet is looking forward to a bright new future after being taken under the wing of his very own Mother Goose.

Things looked bleak for Babe, when all his siblings died after being abandoned by their mother on a smallholding on the Isle of Arran. But the youngster’s luck took a change for the better when he was adopted by Lucy the two-year-old goose, whom he met by chance after escaping from his enclosure. Ever since the pair, who are both orphans, have been inseparable and spend hours snuggled up together.
