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

4.0

Of course the pig dies. I knew that before picking up the book. I love animals and am drawn again and again to books like this, and then I am devastated at the end and tell myself never again.... and then...........;0------------- I love pigs. When I was a kid I collected items pig-related, and always thought I'd have one someday -- maybe someday yet..... so I was enthralled with this story of a little runt who grew into a massive 750 pig (I'm hoping my future pig never tops 400). I'm so glad the author included pictures, but I wanted more more more -- I couldn't stop looking at Mr C Hogwood - those ears and his massive size just made me laugh. I'm so glad he was able to spread such cheer and bring so many people together while he was alive -- like all other animals, the problem is that they never live long enough.........
