The Hermantown Police Department shared the news on social media Thursday (October 17th), asking locals to be on the lookout for the cute creature.

According to their post, the pig has a red tag in its ear and is probably in the 5700 block of St. Louis River Road, writing:

I can't lie - there were some amazing comments on the post. One local chimed in, naming the pig Chris P. Bacon. That is hilarious!

Another Northlander chimed in, writing that the pig likely went to the market. There are so many pig puns and so little time. I love them all.

It is highly likely this little guy escaped from a nearby farm. Maybe he wanted to truly go to the market or just go for a walk? I would love to randomly see a pig in the wild. That would be a total day-maker.
