Family rescues pig stranded 2 miles offshore

A family enjoying the day on their boat in Hawaii was not expecting to be heroes, but life had other plans. June Mellor and her family were out on a boat near the island of Oahu when they saw something lurking in the ocean. They quickly realized a pig was frantically swimming in the water with no help in sight. The family initially thought it was a log and were shocked to discover it was a strangled pig.

Police are looking for the owner of a pig found strolling the streets of South Florida.

In a social media post Monday, the Hollywood Police Department said its officers found a pig near 700 Tyler Street in Hollywood, sharing two pictures of the black-and-white pig. 

The pig owner will need to retrieve its pet from the South Florida wildlife center in Fort Lauderdale where officers took the pig.
