But Wednesday morning, Harper got a call that Dale was on the loose.
“You know, some people wake up to ‘Good morning, beautiful. Good morning, handsome.’ I woke up to ‘Your pig’s on the loose in downtown Kinston,’” Harper said.
The pig was eventually found outside an apartment complex and is back home safe with Harper.
