A pig hogged some attention on Great Neck road on Feb. 18 as it went “wee wee wee” away from home.

“That was my first pig,” Animal Control officer Cheryl Gorveatt-Dill said. “It was cute, about 50 or 60 pounds.”

The swine broke free around 3:30 p.m., and Gorveatt-Dill embarked on a 15-minute adventure to lure the pig into safe custody.

“It was bribery,” Gorveatt-Dill said. “I had some dog cookies in my trunk, and we know pigs like to eat.”

Gorveatt-Dill blanketed an area with the cookies, making a trail to a cage.

The pig could not resist, not by the hair of its chinny chin chin.

The pig was tailed by Gorveatt-Dill, and was put into safe keeping. However, this got under the pig’s skin, and oinks and squeals ensued as the pig was penned.

“He wasn’t happy about being put in a cage,” Gorveatt-Dill said. “He gave us a bit of a struggle.”

“We had a few people who assisted us,” Gorveatt-Dill said.

Gorveatt-Dill held the babe for about 20 minutes until the owner was identified.

“At first, we thought the pig had gone a quarter mile because a farm owner thought it was his, but it was someone’s pet from five or six houses away,” Gorveatt-Dill said.

“He got home and realized the pig was gone,” Gorveatt-Dill said.

It appeared the owner was not hamming his reaction.

“He was very happy,” Gorveatt-Dill said. “He was attached to the pig.”
