KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Missouri, police solved the caper of a missing pig found near Shoal Creek Parkway and North Harrison Street on Tuesday morning.
The department kept a sense of humor while working to reunite the pig with her owner.
"We realize the jokes we are opening ourselves up to with this; but it’s worth it if we find her owner," KCPD said via the department's official Twitter account.

Officers found the 50- to 60-pound pig, which apparently had a healthy appetite, in the street this morning and sought the public's help to locate an owner via social media around 8:30 a.m.
KCPD provided an update shortly after 11 a.m. that the pig, whose name is "Pearl," had wandered "many blocks" but is "once again in hog heaven with her family."
GREAT NEWS!!! Her owner has been located, and she’s reunited. She made it many blocks on her journey. Her name is Pearl and she’s back home and once again in hog heaven with her family. Thanks for all the help.
