A Heart Of Gold

On the day you were born, the first family member you met was your Aunt Leah. When she arrived at the hospital, she brought you Arnold the Snoring Pig. Arnold makes snoring sounds, talks in his sleep while his ears and body move when you press his hoof. You can’t quite press his foot yet…
