Ohio man calls police to report he's being followed by a pig

Police officers in Ohio were convinced a man who called 911 about a pig following him was drunk and hallucinating — but turns out the caller was telling the truth, and “very sober.”
North Ridgeville police officers received a call just before 5:30 a.m. Saturday from a man who said a pig was following him while he was walking home from the Amtrak train station in Elyria, located about 30 miles west of Cleveland. The caller added that he “didn’t know what to do," the department wrote in a Facebook post.
Police officers were skeptical to believe the man and thought he was intoxicated and walking home from the bar.
“Night shift responded to the obviously drunk guy walking home from the bar at 5:26 in the morning. He was at least drunk enough to call the police on himself while hallucinating,” the police department said.
But the officers’ theory was actually wrong. Not only was the man very sober and walking home from the train station (like he said), a pig was actually following him.
“Yes, a pig,” the department added.
One of the officers managed to get the pig into the police cruiser and take it to the city’s dog kennel — that doubled as a pig pen for a few hours.
By 8:23 a.m. Saturday, the pig was returned to its owner, whose identity was not revealed, police said.

What grabbed my attention was the dancing green thing. It reminded me of a Schmoo.
A pig in Elyria would be unusual. It is an older suburban community on the west side of Cleveburg.
