COLUMBIA, S.C. A pig in a perilous predicament got a helping hand - and a new home - from Richland County deputies on Thursday.
The call came in around 8 a.m., according to sheriff s department spokesperson and deputy Sara Blann. Deputies were dispatched to the 600 block of Rosewood Drive in response to an animal complaint.
That animal, as it turns out, was a pig who a witness said had been released from a vehicle nearby. After about 30 minutes, deputies were able to catch the pig and load him into a patrol car.
