[nagdu] Pigs ears?

[Larry D Keeler]

I think of them as raw hides. They are nothing but cartilage and skin. I 
don't give them to iether of my dogs. Wouldn't want them to chew on 
something close to my shoes or couch in texture! I know, pig ears are harder 
but they are still sort of like leather.
