A friend and customer of our farm lent this book to me because she thought I would like it. Considering we raise hogs, it was a good guess. I didn't know what to expect but as soon as I started reading I found an enjoyable story of a runt pig turned big hog and family member. The story of Christopher Hogwood endeared me even more to our 500lb boar, Chester (although he's not quite as friendly as Chris).

This book is a good read for anyone who loves animals as companions or has ever raised farm animals in a small-farm setting. If you're not either of those, it may not interest you much. This is truly a personal story from the author's heart and those involved in Christophers life.
