What is Daggie Dogfoot about?

Daggie Dogfoot, the smallest piglet in the litter, is born with unusual feet resembling a dog's. Facing the threat of being taken away by the pigman, Daggie escapes and befriends a duck named Felicity, who teaches him to swim. When a flood endangers the farm, Daggie's newfound swimming skills enable him to become a hero, saving the other animals and proving that even the most unlikely can achieve greatness.
