Diane Warren Adopts Viral Runaway Pig From West Hollywood Streets
The rescued pig had been picked up by animal control before finding a new home.
A pig that became an internet sensation after being filmed running loose through the streets of West Hollywood has found an unlikely rescuer: Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren. The pig was picked up by Animal Control and placed in a shelter before Warren stepped in to adopt him, according to a segment on TODAY.
Warren, known for her decades of hit songwriting, is bringing the pig to live at her seven-acre animal sanctuary in Malibu. The story caught widespread attention online after video of the pig's escapade through West Hollywood streets circulated, showing the animal dodging traffic and pedestrians before authorities intervened.
The rescue highlights Warren's animal sanctuary, which spans seven acres in Malibu and now becomes the pig's permanent home. The TODAY segment framed the adoption as a happy ending to a story that had already drawn significant online interest before Warren's involvement was known.
Details on the pig's transition to sanctuary life were not elaborated further in the segment, but the rescue closes out a saga that began with the animal's unexpected dash through a Los Angeles neighborhood and ended with a new home arranged by one of the music industry's most prolific songwriters.
