What a Wood Pig is like
Wood people want to grow and help others grow. They are kind, curious and full of plans. Like a tree, they need room to spread out. When they feel boxed in, they get restless.
Pig people enjoy life and let others enjoy it too. They are sincere, forgiving, and better at bouncing back than they get credit for.

Who gets along with a Wood Pig
