Highway 'Boar-01': OPP save bacon of lost pig near Maitland, Ontario

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.
"He couldn’t say where he came from, must have ham-nesia," the tweet said.
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.
Holmes originally said he and his family will be keeping the pig for now until a permanent owner can be found, but in an update posted to social media, police said the pig was "re-rescued" by a fellow OPP officer.
UPDATE #2 - Hamtastic news! Our little friend has been re-named “Karma”, and re-rescued by a fellow #GrenvilleOPP officer. Living the life on a big farm with some friends.
Thank you to everyone who helped with the awareness and messages! #GoodNewsDay ^dh pic.twitter.com/303bt5HMcK

Good Karma for that pig - hopefully to live the same life as Wilbur.
So my X Mother-In Law finally turned up?
I actually really liked my late ex-mother-in-law. My present wife's mother died about a year and a half ago, and the only thing she ever called me was "lowei" (i.e. "the foreigner"). She could only speak Mandarin and I couldn't so we never had a conversation.
Arvo...go well in the oven..😁
But as Wilbur said, "I don't want to die."
Mmmmm bbaaacccoonnnn...
Okay, go ahead, ham it up.
I guess most members find this article BOARing.
