Wayward Hungry Pig Captured In Nevada Co.

NEVADA COUNTY (CBS13) ― A pig pursuit in Nevada County today as reports came in of a huge pig roaming the grounds outside a fast food restaurant in Grass Valley ending up outside the mini-mart at a gas station.

The first reports of the pig came from the employees of a Starbucks who could hear the pig 'oinking' over the speaker of their drive-thru while taking orders.

The pig eventually made it to a Chevron gas stations where employees there fed the pig some shredded lettuce and rolls.

Animal control officers arrived and coaxed the pig onto a truck and back to their facility.

They've named the pig 'Gladys' and will hold onto her to nourish her back to health, and then she'll be available for adoption.

1. AWWW!

Lived 3 yrs in Rough and Ready, just a few miles down the road.

Stuff like this happens.

I'm sure someone will take in the sweet pig. :D

PS the Starbucks and the Chevron are at least a mile and a half apart. But then there were the dumpsters of downtown between. :)

I hope Gladys has a good life as the pet she obviously is. She has a beautiful smile.
