This is a video you have to see to believe. 

The Harper Woods police caught a pig on the loose near Woodland and Sanilac streets Sunday evening. 

The amused cops and the capture were caught on camera.

After police captured the pig, now named Petunia, she was brought to the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society.

 Corinne Martin with the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society told WXYZ that Initially when the police called to say they were bringing a pig to the shelter, she thought it was an April Fool's prank. 

Martin said she believes the Vietnamese pot-bellied pig was probably someone's pet. 

“I can’t imagine how a pig gets lost on Easter unless they were thinking about ham for dinner and she took off," she said. 

If you know who the owner is, call Harper Woods Police.
