A comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the fascinating natural history of the pig, from prehistory to the present

At any given time, there are around one billion pigs in the world; that's one for every seven of us. And where would we be without them? Prolific, ubiquitous, smart, adaptable, and providers of high-quality protein, pigs have been our companions since neolithic times, when they obligingly domesticated themselves, coming in from the wild to root around our waste pits. But it's not all about the bacon; today, bred in micro sizes, the resourceful pig has developed a whole new career as a popular pet. And thanks to genome mapping, we now know that the pig shares many common physiological features with humans, spurring the use of pig tissue and organs in medical research and surgery. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Pig provides a snout-to-tail natural history of this important species, from the prehistoric hell pig to today's placid porker, covering the pig's evolution and domestication, anatomy and biology, behavior, role in human life and culture, and breeds. The book also features an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some thirty popular breeds from around the world, with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, The Pig will delight anyone who loves these animals and wants to understand them better.

Great and entertaining dog toy

These are probably my dog’s favorite toys currently. He loves the squeaking and they function well as a ball for fetching as well.

Our dog loved these?!!
Color: 4 Color For XS/S 2.2", Size: Small
We have a miniature long haired Dachshund named Winston and OMG HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES THESE squeaky toys. I swear he must have played with them for 6 hours straight the first time we gave it to him. He love it so much that he even took it to bed with him that 1st night. Many months later these are still his favorite toys. I think he likes the saucer-like shape of them & how they fit & feel in his mouth. The squeakers don't last very long but that's always been the case with squeaky toys & it doesn't seem to bother Winston much either.
