IN some ways Freddie the Pig reminded me of Hugh Lofting's "Dr. Dolittle Series".
When I was 8 or 9 years old I discovered Freddy the Pig and Gub Gub and their adventures and I just fell in love with these talking and adventurous animals. My parents were in charge of a church and I would go to the ministers room that had a bathroom and a couch and a desk when they would go upstairs onto the altar and platform of the main church in Los Angeles and I would stay downstairs happily reading about Freddy the Pig and his animal and human friends.
