The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood by Sy Montgomery

4.25

funny lighthearted fast-paced

---

This was the very sweet story of a couple rescuing a little runt of a pig and giving him a sanctuary at their rural NH home. The couple is of course the author, Sy Montgomery, and her husband (although it's mostly her story and he just pops in from time to time). Sy didn't know much about raising a pig, but she showered him with love while she learned the ropes. Pretty soon, her whole community knew about Christopher Hogwood and they would come to visit, bring him food, and even help rescue him whenever he made a break for it and started trotting loose through town (which happened surprisingly often!). This was a joy to read and I'm looking forward to more books by Sy Montgomery.
