Franklin police are searching for the owner of a large pig found loose in the city Sunday.
It's kind of a pig deal.
The animal was found around West Ryan Road and West Loomis Road, police said.
If anyone recognizes the sizable swine, police are asking they call Franklin dispatch at 414-425-2522.
“We’re attempting to reunite this bundle of joy with its rightful owner,” a Sept. 8 post on the Franklin Police Department Facebook page said.
The post has been shared over 370 times and has nearly 60 comments on the platform.
This isn’t the first time Franklin Police have worked to return a not-so-commonly encountered animal to its rightful owner.
In June 2020, a kangaroo was spotted loose in the city. Kangaroos are legal to own in Wisconsin with no city ordinances mentioning the marsupial and no state law requiring a permit. Wisconsin is one of only three states ― along with South Carolina and West Virginia ― where residents are able to own a kangaroo without a permit.
Then-Chief Rick Oliva of the Franklin Police Department said the kangaroo was reunited with its owner, a Franklin resident.
