Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish - and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible.

At first, his domain included only Sy's cosseted hens and her beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers brought him delicious leftovers.

The Good Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is possible.","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985569288272,"sku":"9780345496096B","price":12.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/collections\/sy-montgomery.oembed?page=2","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
