Ontario Provincial Police gave a "piggyback ride" to a lost pig found along Highway 401 in Maitland, Ont., south of Ottawa.
In a pun-filled tweet, police said officers picked the little guy up before a "ham-bulance" needed to be called.A passing driver spotted the pig along the highway at around 7:20 a.m. Sunday, OPP Const. Dave Holmes tells CTV News Ottawa in an email. The individual stuck around while two other officers, Provincial Constables Moore and Callighen, could attend with rope and a leash and keep it away from the busy highway."We are still on the lookout for a permanent home that will keep her as a pet, not for meat," he said. It wasn't tagged, so it's unclear who owns it.UPDATE: Found a foster! “Chuck Boaris” will be temporarily housed by the Holmes family while we look for a permanent home.
