TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police went on social media Saturday morning to share a really cute story with us. 

Officer Konz and other officers were able to safely rescue Mr. Oinkers, an adorable (not so little) pig. 

According to police, they received a call about a loose pig in west Toledo. When officers arrived in the West Sylvania Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue area, the caller had already captured Mr. Oinkers. 

Officers proceeded to go around the neighboorhood, knocking on doors and asking if residents knew the animal's owner. That was when a car driving down the street stopped to talk to the officers and pointed them in the right direction. 

Police even went on to make light of the situation on Instagram, saying Mr. Oinkers is the first member of TPD's "K-Swine Unit." 

Thank you for bringing this big guy home, TPD!
