      Synopsis

      You've been moved by the devotion of a dog. You've been awed by the beauty and spirit of a horse, but when was the last time you were inspired by a pig?

      Tales From The Mud Hole, Why Pigs Are My Friends is a humorous and inspirational book that introduces you to the world of pigs, and the unexpected things that we learn from them.

      Vally Mulford thought he knew all about pigs from having grown up on a farm, but when he suddenly finds himself as the manager of a large, commercial hog farm, he discovers a world of pigs that he never knew existed, and he discovers some things about life and about himself, that he never thought he could...

      Step inside this warm, captivating and true story, and go hog-wild with some of pigs: Nerd, Turnip, and Bonzo, King of the Boars. You just might squeal with delight when you discover that a mud bath is after all, a beautiful thing.

      August 20, 2003: At first I was a skeptic of the book entitled 'Tales from the Mudhole', because I didn't think that a story about pigs could hold anyone's interest for very long, but as the old saying goes 'Never judge a book by its cover...' This book pulls you into the world of pigs, in a way that is totally unexpected. The pigs are personified and thus the reader starts to relate very much to them. I must admit, it takes a very talented writer to present realistic similarities between pigs and humans. Not only is this a fun read, but it allows for some inner contemplation. Its weird to think that as intelligent as humans are, we never stop to break down our lives to the simplest form, as Vally has showed us. I give this book two thumbs up. So Vally, when does 'A Day in the Life of a Tomato' hit stores?
