Being so new to the world, this baby pig must not have received the memo that highways aren't animal friendly.

He began wandering the open motorway, causing a major traffic jam on Tuesday evening.

The West Yorkshire Dogs were called to help round up the piglet. After giving the officers the run around, he was finally caught. The little pig was shaken, but unharmed.
