An Indiana familys pet pig has thwarted the plans of some thieves who attempted to break into the home of its owner.
Indianapolis Police said the attempted burglary on the citys east side Tuesday may have been unsuccessful after the would-be thieves came across the familys fearless pig.
The officers were guessing when the thieves broke in they were probably surprised I had a pig and were like, We dont want to deal with this.
The cop was like, we definitely think they got in and made it to where Dumplin was and thought, Nope. We dont want no part of this, the homeowner, who asked not to be identified, told FOX59.
The intruders didnt steal anything from the home, but ruined the back door after smashing it in, according to the homeowner.
The incident was one of three home burglaries in the neighborhood on the same day.
Dumplins owner also said she was just relieved the full-grown pig didnt get hurt during the incident, and said she wishes more people would adopt pet pigs even if they wont always keep criminals away.
There are tons of pigs in shelters that dont have homes and theyre great animals, she said.
