Four young piglets are back safe at home after escaping their enclosure in Buck Ridge, B.C., and swimming across the Fraser River. Stephanie Bird, owner of Slow Train Farm, around 25 kilometres south of Quesnel, was working one afternoon when she realized her four seven-week-old piglets weren't in their enclosure. She and her husband searched all over the farm and in neighbouring properties, but the pigs were nowhere to be found. Bird's husband suggested the pigs may have swum across the river, but Bird wasn't so sure. The piglets had crossed the river and hiked seven kilometres south, crossing steep terrain.
