Employees with the Stockton Animal Services were able to catch a seven month old potbellied hog named Wiggly who got away from his owner around Monday July 14.
The hog has made residents of Stockton California very angry since the hog has wrecked properties by digging holes.
Officials with the Stockton Animal Control were able to catch the hog on Wednesday July 16. The officials have contacted the owner of the hog to notify him that hogs are not allowed to have as pets.
The owner of the hog has two weeks to to comply or else pay a fine if the hog still remains in the city.

@Deepizzaguy They have to build a pen which is secure for it not to escape.

What a cute name.
Wiggly stories remind me of the pet animal stories.
I hope Wiggly is good and will always have a good life.

I'm surprised that the owners could not have a potbellied pig. Maybe because it's in the city.

The hog cannot be in the city as a pet is the reason that is not allowed.
