Nicholas Nadel at Asylum.com makes an excellent point: Pigs have been getting bad press lately (being linked to a possible pandemic and all). He’s tried to balance that out with a list of 10 Pigs We Love:

10. Vance from “Big Top Pee-Wee”
9. Napoleon from “Animal Farm”
8. “Spider-Pig/Harry Plopper” from “The Simpsons Movie”
7. Orson Pig from “Garfield and Friends”
6. Arnold Ziffel from “Green Acres”
5. The Piggly Wiggly Pig
4. Porky Pig
3. Babe
2. Wilbur from “Charlotte’s Web”
1. Miss Piggy

My list would have to include our own Sparky! He’s cheerful, a hard worker and always ready to lend a helping hoof! I mean, name another hog who blogs!

Another deserving candidate is Zhu Jianqiang (”strong and tough pig”) , who became famous just about a year ago after surviving for 36 days in a home ruined during China’s earthquakes.  She inspired the nation and is China’s reigning Favorite Animal!

Have any other names in mind? Share ‘em!
