A long time ago, pigs were clean. At least in India. And then once upon a time drastic measures were called for.

We bring you this story especially for National Pig Day (March 1), which we just know you were just dying to learn about. It's been around for 40 years now, thanks to Texas teacher Ellen Stanley.

We come to you from South Carolina (still) where we recount our visit to Charleston and Edisto Island, where the reptiles love to hang out.

Oink Oink,

Dennis (Narrator, Tiger, Second Pig, Old Pig) and Kimberly (First Pig)
