Officers in North Ridgeville, Ohio, received a call from a man who said while walking home from an Amtrak train station, a pig started following him, and he didn't know what to do, according to our partners at WCPO.

Thinking he had just left the bar in Elyria named the Train Station, police went out to pick up the caller, who they believed was drunk.

When officers arrived, they found the man stone-cold sober, complete with his four-legged stalker in tow.

In the end, the pig named Zoey, was very cooperative and placed in the back of a police cruiser and taken to the station. Police made the animal feel at home for a bit inside the department's dog kennels until the owner was notified, and it was picked up.

Authorities didn't say if the owner was cited for having a pig on the loose.
