The Unexpected Genius of Pigs

Beschreibung

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. Theyâ re inventive, crafty and belligerent â and incredibly singleminded. Ultimately, we have far more in common with these creatures than we like to admit.

'Move over Marley, a pair of cute mini-pigs are about to take over the world.' New York Post

'This merry memoir of family growing pains and too many pets has so many laugh-out-loud sequences it's embarrassing to read in public... the most good-hearted, hilarious memoir in years.' Shelf Awareness

'What a fabulous, funny read! I enjoyed every page. Highly recommended for anyone with a pet, a partner, a family, a sense of humour...or even a minipig.' Sophie Kinsella

'Written with wry humour and accompanied by numerous photographs, ink is a moving salute to love, family and commitment.' Richmond Times-Dispatch

'Be careful where you read this book because it is laugh-out-loud funny... Whyman has a flair for self-deprecating asides and for making the "ordinary" sparkling. It's compelling, bristles with irony and is sure to delight animal lovers.' Daily Telegraph (Sydney)

'A darling book - very funny and definitely for animal lovers.' ABC
