"Delightful and Inspiring" - Kim Stallwood, author of Growl: Life Lessons, Hard Truths, and Bold Strategies from an Animal Advocate "The Pig Who Made it Big" is a rhyming picture book about a pig whose life suddenly changes after a film crew comes to shoot a movie on the farm. The director takes a shine to the pig and notices how intelligent and talented she is. She gets along very well with Ronnie, the director's dog. An unexpected incident makes the pig realize that others regard her as fundamentally different to Ronnie just because she is a pig. Luckily, not everyone sees her like this. The story is inspired by the true story of actor Branko Duric Duro who adopted a pig after finding out that the pigs used in a film he was working on were slaughtered afterwards, which would not have happened if they were dogs. This book highlights speciesism between animals considered as pets by humans and those that are not. It promotes the notion that all animals should be treated with the same respect and love.
