SERVO OWNER SAVES PIGS’ BACON
THESE little piggies may have become lost on their way home from the market but they appeared as happy as a pig in the proverbial in their new surrounds.
The cons-pig-uous visitors strolled into the Caltex petrol station at Upper Coomera about 2.30am with staff baffled as to how they got there.
The pigs proved popular with customers with many stopping to get a snapshot of the snout-nosed celebrities as they made themselves comfortable in a nearby garden bed.
Servo owner Trent Bunn said staff had “no idea” how the pigs ended up at his petrol station or why they decided to stick around with all the traffic nearby.
“We really have no clue,” Mr Bunn said.
“They’re really friendly pigs and customers were loving it. Everyone keeps coming up and taking photos with them.”
Mr Bunn said the pigs were originally loitering around the petrol station pumps before deciding to take a rest in the garden bed after their big night on the town.
“I fed them some leftover sandwiches and gave them water,” he said.
“Other than that they slept most of the morning.”
Fortunately, this piggie tale has a happy ending with the owner being notified and collecting the animals.
“They busted out during the night like a jailbreak,” the owner said.
“We only live about 800m away so luckily they didn’t get very far.”
