 Dr. Henry Rodriguez, clinical assistant professor of pediatrics, Riley Hospital, is shown here with three adorable stuffed pigs. However, Rodriquez has his hopes set on kissing a real life pig at center court during the Pacers Vs. Celtics game March 19. Why Would Anyone Want to Kiss a Pig? As part of the American Diabetes Association's annual Kiss A Pig campaign, Dr. Henry Rodriguez wants to raise $25,000. The Kiss A Pig campaign pits local celebrities against community leaders to raise votes - $1 equals one vote. The candidate with the most votes gets to kiss a pig in honor of the pig's life-saving role as the first source of insulin.
