Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Authorities in Wisconsin are trying to find the owner of an unusual escaped pet found wandering the streets -- a large pig.

The Franklin Police Department said the porcine pedestrian was found wandering in the area of West Ryan Road and West Loomis Road earlier this week.

"We're attempting to reunite this bundle of joy with its rightful owner," police wrote on social media.

The pig was turned over to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission, which is attempting to find the animal's owner.

Police swoop on McDonald's after staff mistake man with facial palsy for a drunk
A dad with facial palsy says he was made to feel like a criminal after McDonald's staff called police on him - because they thought he was drunk. Craig Brown, 46, was left stunned when an 'overwhelming' number of police vans swooped at the drive-thru as he waited almost an hour for food. He had paid for two chicken mayo sandwiches, a burger and three hot chocolates when six officers ordered him from his car at around 1am last Sunday (6/10). Workers at the fast food branch in Blackpole, Worcester, had called police believing the dad-of-five was drunk and had been smoking cannabis. But tests confirmed he was completely sober and then - to add insult to injury - McDonald's handed him his food which was now stone cold. A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “At McDonald’s, we are committed to being a responsible neighbour and contributing to the safety and well-being of the communities we serve. "It appears that in this instance, although our team’s intentions were well-meaning, their judgment was incorrect, and for that we would like to apologise to the customer.
