A high-speed chase involving Florida police officers and a runaway pig made for some amusing picture-perfect moments on Tuesday morning.
In a Facebook post, the Pensacola Police Department shared several photos showing their officers’ enthusiastic efforts to catch the loose pig on the streets of north downtown Pensacola, Fla.
The dramatic photos, captured by Tony Giberson with the Pensacola News Journal, show officers leaping, crouching, and, eventually, wresting the spotted potbelly pig to the ground.
According to the police department, they initially received calls on Monday night about “an ugly dog or perhaps a Chupacabra run amok in the downtown.”
However, come morning, they realized the mysterious animal was none other than “a determined pig that had zero intention of returning home.”
