At first, 9-year-old Elysia Laub thought the pink limbs she saw wriggling in her grassy Indiana back yard were those of a little pig.
“We have two pigs,” the girl told WISH-TV. “I thought they had a baby or something.”
It was late Monday morning, the summer heat already climbing. Still unsure what she’d stumbled upon, Elysia ran inside.
“Mom,” she said. “There’s something in the yard.”
The two ventured back outside, where between a field and a row of trees, Heidi Laub saw what her daughter had discovered: a newborn baby.
I saw the arms and legs move & ran to get my mom. More from the 9 yo who found a baby in Lowell, Ind. @6 on NBC. pic.twitter.com/1Xb4jbKfUM
