Recently, San Bernardino County deputies embarked on an unexpected wild pig chase. When a call came in about an escaped pig “the size of a mini horse,” Deputies Shelly Ponce and Ashleigh Berg of Highland Station headed to the scene.
They were able to determine where the pig lives, thanks to tips, but were still tasked with bringing him back home. One of the deputies remembered that she had a bag of jalapeno-flavored snack chips in her lunch bag, and led the pig back home by making a trail of crumbs.
The massive pig was successfully returned to his residence, after which the deputies secured the gate and continued on with their shift.
Thank you to the diligent law enforcement officers who responded to the call, for figuring out a humane way to get the pig back home!
What’s New…
Well done! Pigs are such intelligent and compassionate animals and I’m sure this little escape artist is quite the companion animal!
Yay! Rejoice! Good animal news for a change!! Thanks, officers!!
GOD BLESS THESE POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE SUCH HUGE HEARTS. THANK YOU
A very big thank you, yes.
Much respect to all the deputies who helped the pig back to its home. I love this video.
“And this little piggy went home”. Hooray.
Thank you Deputies Shelly Ponce and Ashleigh Berg for the clever and kind method you chose to return the escapee back to his home. Well done!!
Would make a cute Dorito commercial!!
