Kevin Bacon’s family got him on October 13th--but by the next day, he had dug under his pen to escape. The whole community rallied together, trying to catch him but he outsmarted them every step of the way.
The pet pig from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, escaped its yard by tunneling under the fence, and its unnamed owners just couldn’t capture him. After 18 days, they finally came up with an idea for a poor man’s tranquilizer dart: a sticky bun the porker couldn’t resist — loaded with a handful of Benadryl tablets, an antihistamine famous for causing sleepiness. That was enough to get the pig, named Kevin Bacon, back home.
