　　“Christopher Hogwood came home on my lap in a shoebox. He was

a creature who would prove in many ways to be more human than I

am.”

–from The Good Good Pig

A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among

wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt

more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly

opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from

nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling

that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only

survive but flourish–and she soon found herself engaged with her

small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible.

Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic travele***ith

something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually

weighing 750 pounds) to family and home.

The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his

glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New

Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving

heart made him absolute monarch over a (mostly) peaceable kingdom.

At first, his domain included only Sy’s cosseted hens and her

beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching

Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls

next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers

brought him delicious leftovers. His intelligence and fame

increased along with his girth. He was featured in USA Today and on

several National Public Radio environmental programs. On election

day, some voters even wrote in Christopher’s name on their

ballots.

But as this enchanting book describes, Christopher Hogwood’s

influence extended far beyond celebrity; for he was, as a friend

said, a great big Buddha master. Sy reveals what she and others

learned from this generous soul who just so happened to be a

pig–less*** about self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value

of community, and the pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good

Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is

possible.
