Pig That Escaped In US Lured Back Home With Fruit Snacks By Police

The owner was summoned to the scene and used fruit snacks to lure the potbellied pig home.

A 300-pound potbellied pig named Albert got lost on the west side of Green Bay in the US state of Wisconsin, so authorities used the only foolproof strategy they knew of: luring him home with fruit snacks.

In a post about the incident on Facebook, the Green Bay Police Department said that "Albert's big city adventure took place on a warm and sunny Monday. Albert saw an opportunity to explore the city when his fence gate was accidentally left open."

"Officers who spotted Albert were able to immediately see that he looked a little lost. When Albert was questioned as to where he lived, his snout wasn't pointing him in the right direction."
