What would you do if you saw a wandering pig on the side of the road?

There are certain animals one might expect to find, asking for help at the side of the road. We hear and see plenty of stories of kindhearted hoomans who meet dogs, cats, and other household animals who are definitely far away from home and in need of a helping hand. On very rare occasions, you might come across a tale of a person helping an eagle that got lost swimming in a lake, or a sweet story of a sad duck that just wanted to swim in his favorite pond… Those are the stories that enter our hearts, and we have a hard time ever forgetting.

The hoomans who posted the story below might have expected to see many things on their drive, but a lost pig with a brown collar around his neck was probably not one of them. The sweet baby was so friendly, and obviously someone's pet, but the two hoomans could not find out who might be his owners, and where this big boy might have come from.

Luckily for the pig, they did not give up and proceeded to knock on every house nearby until they found the owners. The rightful pair could not have been happier to be reunited, and the hardworking couple was just as happy to witness this awwdorable ending.

Down below, are snapshots from this heartwarming story, and if you scroll all the way down, you will find the full original video. Hopefully, after that, you might find yourself rescuing a smiley pig yourself, or helping any other pet find its way back home!
