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.- Provides a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the pig's evolution and domestication, anatomy and biology, behavior, role in human life and culture, and breeds

Smaller than expected
Color: Donuts
Wayyyy tinier than I expected but its ok, I have a mini dachshund and the size fits. She doesnt play with these as much as heretics other big girl toys but these are super cute. Each one has a squeaker which she loves to try and tear out. They are soft and squishy for her small teeth.

Love them! Dog is Obsessed.
Color: Donuts
These are absolutely adorable. Just the right size for my 20 ish lb pup.
They seem to be durable and made from good quality materials. They're soft and light so they don't make any noise or issues when he chucks them across the room while he's playing.
Definitely great value for great price.

Fun but not for aggressive chewers
Color: Donuts, Color: Donuts
Super cute and I like that it’s like 4 toys in 1. My Yorkiepoo loved it! She wouldn’t engage with any other toys all night. Anything with a squeaker and crinkle noise, she is all over it. It’s a lot smaller than I thought, but those little donuts are just the right size to get in her mouth…and devour! She’s a fetch girl, so she had fun chasing this toy all over the house. After a day, there is only one donut left and the box. I kinda expected this since my dog’s main agenda when it comes to these kinds of toys is to how fast can I kill it so if you have an aggressive chewer like mine, it may be fun but it won’t last long.

My dog loves this toy!!!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Style: Stick Medium
I bought this toy for my 80 lb dog who is very rough on her toys. She Loves squeaker toys. This toy held up for about 1 years which is awesome for how aggressive my dog is with her toys. I play tug of war with her with this. The squeaker didn't last too long. Somehow she broke that pretty quickly but the toy itself was very strong and durable. It's a softer rubber like material and it's bendable and twistable. After the toy broke (it actually broke in half), I purchased her another one because of how much she enjoyed it. This newer one, the squeaker still works and have had it for about 6 months or so now. I highly recommend this toy to anyone who has a dog that is an aggressive chewer and who's hard on their toys.
