Book excerpt: Kathleen had never thought about rescuing pigs before . . . Ozzie Osboar is a very sick runt pig. At two-days old he arrives at Lockets Meadow, an animal rescue, where the owner, Kathleen, refuses to give up on him. Locket, the farms burro, can hear the voices of animals who are far away. She talks to a pair of mama pigs who had made a daring escape from cages in a factory farm and miraculously survived a flood. The pair of sisters is at an animal hospital, afraid of what will come next, but knowing theyll do anything to avoid living in tiny crates again. Meanwhile, Bonnie, the new barn manager, is bullying Falstaff, one of the horses. Kathleen is so busy with her newspaper job and trying to save Ozzies life that she doesnt notice. When Ozzie is injured and has to be rushed to a far-away hospital, Bonnie decides shes had enough of Falstaff fighting back; if she cant break him, she will sneak him off the farm and send him to an auction to be sold for meat. The farms animals, including a small flock of feisty crows, decide they will do whatever it takes to help the sister pigs and save Falstaffs life. But are the powers of love, friendship and the magic of Lockets Meadow enough? The animals in Ozzies Promise are all real, as is the story of Ozzie Osboar, a little pig with a big smile and huge heart who refuses to give up on life and love. Author Kathleen M. Schurman and her husband, David, own the real Lockets Meadow in Connecticut where they care for more than 100 animals rescued from slaughter and abuse. Through the love and determination of their rescues they have learned to expect miracles every day.
