An unfortunate truth about keeping pets is that you always have to be prepared for the possibility that they might run away or get lost. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your furry friends have tags, or even microchips.
But, while most people are worrying about their curious cat, or a canine companion who just can’t resist following his nose, a family in Massachusetts has to keep an eye out for their pet piglet. Gronk, named for the Patriots’ tight end, escaped from his home and went walkabout yesterday.
Gronk lives with his people and his dog in Danvers, MA. According to his official Facebook page, he seems to have a knack for adventure like this fellow piggy, and enjoys the occasional escape.
He apparently made a break for it Thursday morning, after some family friends accidentally left the gate open. He didn’t stray too far afield, just wandering within a few blocks of home. But his worried family, unable to find him, called the police.
Fortunately, Officer Suzanne Tibbetts was able to successfully apprehend the prodigal piggy. She cleverly lured him with a snack, and then brought him home, where she fed him more snacks.
If this is the cutest little fugitive you’ve ever seen, please SHARE on Facebook! And, please, make sure your pets have tags!
