Giant pig with a very amusing name goes on rampage through rural town after escaping from his pen

An enormous pig went on a rampage in a small suburban town after he managed to escape from his pen.  

Shocked drivers and afternoon joggers saw the pig, named Johnny, stalk the streets of Salisbury in northern Adelaide, South Australia on Thursday. 

A woman named Jessica spotted the pig, who is called Johnny, while driving and filmed him walk onto the driveway of an apartment complex and blocked cars from entering or exiting.  

‘Oh my god, what the hell,’ she said when she spotted Johnny before she broke out in laughter.  

Jessica drove past the massive pig again further down the road and Johnny showed no signs of slowing down.  

‘It’s huge,’ she said.   

He was recaptured and taken back to his home in a resident’s backyard.  

Many residents were shocked by the large size of the pig while others thought he was adorable. 

One person said: ‘He’s so beautiful. I want a piggy.’

‘Don’t judge. It’s just come out of self-isolation,’ another person joked. 

Another commenter said: ‘Look at the size of this guy.’

‘I thought it was a rhino but then I realised I didn’t have my glasses on,’ one person said.

This isn’t the first time a giant pig has escaped its pen and wandered through Salisbury. 

On February 24. 2016, police officers found a pink sow heading towards the Salisbury City Centre. 

Officers captured the pig and handed it to the Salisbury Council, who named it Porky. 

A post of the council Facebook page said Porky was safe and well.
