Do You Know This Big Pig? Pierce County Searches For Owners
Deputies crossed paths with a very large oinker while on patrol in Graham Monday night.
GRAHAM, WA — Pierce County deputies hope to reunite a giant pig with his family after he was found wandering along the road in Graham Monday night. Deputies deployed dog treats to coax the big boy off the street, near 90th Avenue East, and into a park shortly after 8:30 p.m. They spent the next two hours searching nearby for the pig's owner, while a neighbor named Chandler kept a watchful eye on the hog.
The sheriff's department was unable to locate the pig's home on Monday night and credited a man named Charles with bringing out a horse trailer and taking him in for the night. Anyone who knows where the pig lives is asked to call the non-emergency line at 253-798-4721.
We have not located the owners of the giant pig. Big shout out to our new friend Chandler who watched the big guy for 2+ hrs while deputies searched for the owners. Also a big thank you to our new friend Charles who generously offered to transport & care for the pig overnight. pic.twitter.com/m6ZDvqMOVT
