This novel is based on the life of a tiny pig rescued while walking down an interstate highway in Minnesota through his adulthood. The story is told from the pig's point of view to give the reader true insight into the thoughts and feelings a pig might have. Much humor is included with supporting photos. Hickory's life was not without difficulties, danger, and sorrow. His 3 pen-mates became his family. He eventually was given his own foster children to raise. It is hoped this story will introduce the reader to the gentle, friendly, smart side of this pig and to all swine in general.
