Not Just Another Pretty Face

Each Sunday, I'll take a break from the material aspects of this blog and spend a little time looking at the finer points of pigdom.  Most people probably appreciate the ham and bacon side of pigs; little do they know they have a deeper side as well.  

We'll start the week with a peek into the favorite quotes of thoughtful pigs and also learn a pig factoid (pigoid?) in a feature called Pigipedia.






PIGIPEDIA 
Race car driver Mario Andretti used to have a pot-bellied pig named Martini and a Great Dane named Bosco.  He trained Bosco to go into his dog crate at night by giving him a biscuit before he went to bed.   Mario gave him the biscuit, Bosco took it to his crate, and then he'd stay there all night.  Martini only had to see that a few times before he understood what was going on.  One night when Mario gave Bosco the biscuit, Martini ran and snatched the biscuit right out of the Great Dane's mouth.  And then he ran into Bosco's crate, just like he saw Bosco do every night.
