The pig, named Swag, left its Nanuet home through a doggy door and then somehow got outside the fenced-in yard while his family was at work.
Luckily for Swag, Clarkstown police Animal Control Officer Patricia McCoy-Coleman came to his rescue and transported him to the Hudson Valley Humane Society.
Veterinarians tended to his overgrown hooves, and Swag appeared to be a real "ham" as he posed for a picture.
It turns out he hadn't gone far, just to the yard next door.
The Humane Society is working to reunite Swag with his family.
