In the field of entertainment, I would have to include Babe in those making positive contributions. Not only did he set goals and work to achieve them, but he was a problem-solver AND and collaborator. His communication skills fostered a positive relationship with the sheep, for example, which allowed he and his farmer to win the herding contest.

So are pigs really good thinkers and problem-solvers? I believe researchers would say "Yes!"

.....and I think we hear information about pigs several times each and every day that we tune in to any form of media. Unfortunately it is usually in an advertisement for something with bacon, but......it is about some aspect of the "noble pig."
