The Good Good Pig

I read this book to a group of seniors. Christopher Hogwood was not only a good pig, but a very lucky pig. He was born the runt of a litter, rescued by Sy Montgomery, vegetarian and animal lover, and her husband, a Jewish writer who did not eat pork. He becomes famous in his rural town in New Hampshire as he learns to maneuver the gates and escape to the road. His home is so warm and inviting, but there are greener pastures and bigger gardens to explore. Soon he is enjoying spa treatment from the neighbor children, delicious slops from the gourmet restaurants, and photography sessions with the media outlets. Read this and find out what makes Christopher so good, and so good for Sy Montgomery.
