Pig Tales
Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 12 – So here’s the thing about pigs – not only do we like to listen to music – we have at least 20 different grunts and squeaks and noises.

Pig Tales
Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 10 – So here’s the thing about pigs – not only do some pigs have jobs – BUT pig heart valves are used to replace human heart valves.
