Maybe you’ve seen or heard of the free flying macaws at Dolores Park in San Francisco.

Ever notice how people “pig out” on the abundant Thanksgiving feast? All the character traits of a Pig are ideal for this holiday; natural kindness, a good heart, desire for everyone to win, and happy to be the peacemaker. But Pig can be naive at times.
