A pig in Kentucky was caught going hog wild while enjoying a snow day this week.

The Richmond Police Department posted pictures of the adorable pig on Tuesday. The animal ran away from its trailer and was found by officers that morning.

"Officers responded this morning to a pig on the loose!" the police department wrote. "After escaping its trailer, this hefty friend spent some time enjoying the winter weather and recent snowfall."

The animal sported a snow-covered snout in the photos. Beaming police officers also made thumbs-up gestures while posing with the pig.

After spending all morning in the snow, it looked like the pig could use a blanket, so the animal was brought back to its owner.
