The Ohio State Highway Patrol said that troopers worked to wrangle the porker, which somehow got loose and was wandering through a McDonald’s parking lot in Springfield, WHIO reported.

“There was a bit of oinking around in Springfield this week after a pig got loose and went hog wild,” the Ohio State Highway Patrol wrote on Friday in a social media post.

“Fortunately, Springfield Post troopers were able to assist the owner and get the insu-boar-dinate pig into custody,” troopers wrote on Facebook. “In the end, the trooper & pig seemed to a-boar each other.”

Awful puns aside, the pig was returned to its owner. It was unclear how the animal managed to get loose in the first place.
