When pigs flee: Pet potbellied Biscuit escapes family trip

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (AP) — A little piggy named Biscuit is headed home.

Police in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, found a 6-week-old potbellied pig behind an area restaurant on Sunday, The News & Observer reports. Earlier that day, he escaped from his family, who was vacationing in the area from North Carolina, police said in a statement.

A photo of a sand-speckled Biscuit shows him post-rescue and tucked into the arm of one of his saviors. Officers are working to unite him with his family, police said.
