According to the police, Albert had escaped through an open gate.
A 300-pound pot-bellied pig named Albert got lost on the west side of Green Bay, Wisconsin, so authorities used the one foolproof strategy they knew: to lure him home with fruit snacks.
In a Facebook post about the incident, Green Bay Police said that “Albert’s big city adventure took place on a warm and sunny Monday. Albert saw an opportunity to explore the city when his gate was accidentally left open.”
“Officers who saw Albert immediately saw that he looked a bit lost. When Albert was asked where he lived, his snout was not pointing him in the right direction.”
The post further stated: “To help Albert find his way around, officers went door to door asking if anyone had recognized him. It didn’t take long, as a neighbor of Albert’s knew the way. But once we got mom found, she knew that Albert would only interrupt his adventure in the big city on one condition: fruit snacks.”
