WE’D SAY THE Gardaí see some interesting things on a daily basis, but this was unusual even for them.
Officers from Greystones found a tiny lost pig while on patrol in Kilcoole yesterday afternoon. They reported that they took it into custody on suspicion of being “on its way to market”:
Eager to get the pig back to its owner, they put out a call on Twitter for information, and were quickly reminded of the situation’s similarity to a certain ad.
By 7pm, the pig had been reunited with its family – and it emerged that its name was not in fact Sue, but Ziggy the Piggy. ZIGGY THE PIGGY.
Ziggy the Piggy (it really is his name) was reunited with his owner, just a quick check up with the vet and OINK he goes! Thanks to all pic.twitter.com/uUfllCDNeS

“We all love a happy ending,” tweeted the Gardaí. As do we. Safe home, little Ziggy!
