A pig found roaming the streets of North Carolina is home, after some time in county custody.
  
Scott Bird with Forsyth County animal services tells the Winston-Salem Journal the owner was “very happy to be reunited” with the pig Tuesday. The names of the owner and pig remain unknown.
  
The pig’s whirlwind week began when it “vacated the property,” in Bird’s words, through an unlatched fence. Deputies received a call Sunday from a resident whose dog was chasing the pig in their yard.
  
It took a deputy more than an hour to corral the pig inside a fenced-in area, finally luring it with dog food. Weighing up to 50 pounds (23 kilograms), the pig dwelled in a kennel until its owner was found.
  
Bird said the pig was socialized and “considered attractive.”
