Scott Gordon is a children's author who is well known for porking his nose into other people's funny business, so it's hardly surprising he's come out with this story of a friendly pig in a poking-fun kind of story - and right now 9as of this posting) it's free on Amazon in ebook form.
Pigs are actually adorable as piglets. They're hilarious and play like puppies. Pigs are smart animals, too - very similar in intelligence to dogs, but they're nowhere near as domesticated, so I wouldn't recommend one as a pet, even though, when given a chance, there are quite clean animals, too. I might make an exception for the one featured here, who looks like a pig who'd be fun to hang with.
The moral here is not to judge by appearances. Although our friend looks like he might be a bit odd, and his nose is rather peculiar by our standards, that's no reason to turn your own nose up at the little guy. I think he (or maybe she!) is probably very su-wee-t.
How can you not like someone with lots of energy, and who is also into exercise and fun? As you skate through life hoping not to become board (or is it bored?) you might want to consider the serious advice and take a page or two out of the play-book offered here. It's not sty-in-the-sky, you know!
Scott Gordon once again brings craziness and 3-D effect art to his pages in a simple, but bright and colorful story of fun, friendship and taking people for who they are. I think that's a good pork-trait to paint. Or is it a pig-ture?
