Firefighters Rescue 250-Pound Pig from Swimming Pool
Published: November 28, 2007
Brocoli is back in his mini-barn full of fresh hay. But over the weekend, he followed his owner Patricia Brown into the back yard pool area and took an unexpected dive.
“Pigs have terrible eyesight, he didn’t see the pool,” said Brown of Tracy.
She spent 45 minutes trying to raise the large animal out of the cold water with no luck.
“I had to call 911,” Brown said.
A Tracy police officer was the first to arrive and chuckle at Brown’s “porkly” problem.
Then firefighters came on scene and one jumped into the frigid water to push Brocoli out.
10 minutes later, Brocoli was free.
“I’m so grateful, Brocoli was too- he got a hot bath and some grapes,” Brown adds.
Brocoli is doing fine today and will be kept away from the pool.
