We often consider dogs to be our enduring sidekicks but the truth is domestic pigs have played a role in our lives for nearly as long.Pigs are highly social and smart. They like to play. They’re inventive, crafty and belligerent – and incredibly singleminded.Ultimately, we have far more in common with these creatures than we like to admit.Here is a charming ode to one of the most common, yet surprisingly intelligent, animals populating our landscapes. In this gentle and illuminating study, Matt Whyman embarks on a journey to uncover the heart and soul of an animal brimming with more energy, intelligence and playfulness than he could ever have imagined.In his bid to understand what makes a pig tick, having climbed a steep learning curve as a keeper himself, Whyman meets a veterinary professor and expert in pig emotion, as well as a spirited hill farmer whose world revolves around hogs and sows.
