Pig

Where there are people, there are pigs. It goes to show how closely linked the two are. The Pig is said to have originated from the North Star, which fell onto Earth to bring good fortune to mankind. Nasty things have been said about the Pig, that it is stupid, lazy, and greedy. However, science has proven that this is not the case. In fact, what the Dog can do, the Pig can do better, if not as well.
