GLOUCESTER COUNTY, N.J. (PIX11) – A 200-pound pot-bellied pig managed to break out of a New Jersey farm on Saturday, according to Washington Township police.

Three officers managed to chase down, tackle and safely tie up the pig named Pumba. A child left a gate to the Gloucester County farm's pasture open, according to authorities.

"Claim him or he is going to become our next K9!" the police department joked on Facebook after they caught the pig.
