Cops Save Pig's Bacon: Pet Pig Left In Hot Car

TUSTIN, CA — Now, perhaps, these deputies have seen it all. A pig named Ramone was found locked inside a BMW in Tustin this week. These north county cops went to work to help Orange County Animal Care free the farm animal.

Ramone was left inside a vehicle with the windows rolled up, an Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesperson said. A concerned resident alerted the proper authorities, and both OC Animal Care and deputies rendered aid to the little guy, finding the car's registered owner.

Ramone was "safely removed" from the vehicle.

As we approach summer, remember to not leave your animals inside the vehicle, Orange County Sheriff's Department deputies said. All who are left inside hot cars are at risk of overheating.
