Piggy Lives! Fans rejoice as Bindi Irwin’s dog returns to the Australia Zoo family’s socials after vanishing for six weeks

Irwin fans breathed a sigh of relief this week when Bindi’s dog Piggy returned to social media.

The King Charles Cavalier Spaniel had vanished from the famous family’s socials for over six weeks, sparking concerns for the dog’s wellbeing.

But fears for Piggy were finally put to rest on Thursday, when she made a triumphant – and cute – return to the Stella & Piggy Instagram account run by the Irwins.

The pooch was seen playing in the grass in a photo posted to the social media site.

She looked happy and healthy as she tugged on a blue and purple rope toy.
