Pig who escaped meat farm rescued by swine loving couple

A runaway pig that escaped the slaughterhouse is finally enjoying life after a kind-hearted rescuer bought him at auction.

Toby, a podgy livestock pig, is believed to have fled a farm where he would have been destined for the butcher's block.

The one-year-old swine was later picked up by traffic cops after being chased onto the I-40 highway in Hillsborough, North Carolina, by a pit bull.
