Though most people are confined inside their homes and staying away from the streets due to this lockdown, that is not something this little piggy wanted to do. Hence, it took it upon itself to explore around, probably to see what roads look like without humans. Maybe worried about the well-being of the pig, the locals around the street called the police and they came to capture the four-legged culprit. What followed next was a hilarious 45-minute-long chase involving the pig and the cops from Stamford Police Department.

“This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy stayed home... this little piggy ran away from the police!” with this witty caption they shared the video online. It shows three officers trying to catch the pig and finally trapping it using an empty dustbin.

It surprises people that they are very fast....glad he is safe and sound,” commented another. “Thanks for the laughs guys! Best one since being self-isolated!!” expressed a third. “Guys you made my day!!! Finally something that could make you guys laugh as well!” wrote a fourth.
