A potbellied pig has taken up temporary residence near a pine tree after apparently wandering away from its home. The pig showed up on Tuesday, September 1, and has remained in the area. Attempts to catch the pig have been unsuccessful, including an attempt to use a net and a pursuit by police that lasted several hours.

Detroit Animal Care and Control has been contacted and is sending a crew to try to capture the pig. Once caught, the animal will be transferred out of the city.

Further details about the situation are available from the source, including the efforts of neighbors to catch the pig and its fondness for a particular pine tree.
