Missing Pot-Bellied Pig Lucy Found

Lucy, a family’s 60-pound pot-bellied pig that was believed to have been stolen Monday, found her way home Thursday.

The pig, belonging to Bianca Sierra, went missing and the family thought it was two men who had allegedly tried to steal the pig before. The family said neighbors of their home had frightened away the potential pig-nappers in the past.

When Lucy disappeared, her caretakers feared the worst.

“I thought that they were going to cook her,” said Lucy’s caretaker Rebeca Gusman. “Because, like Christmas is right around the corner. Get her really fat, and eat her.”

After the pig disappeared, Sierra and her friends drove the neighborhood posting flyers asking for Lucy’s safe return. Then, Thursday morning, the phone rang and it was the news they had been hoping to hear. Two men at a Home Depot near Lucy’s home found the pig and contacted Sierra.

Lucy is back at home Thursday night and the pig’s caretakers had a message for the pesky pignappers.

“Please don’t do that again,” said caretaker Tito Gusman. “Please. It is a pet. Just imagine how it would be if they took your pet. It’s not a good thing; not a good feeling.”
