The viral story of a runaway pig in West Hollywood turned out to have a Hollywood ending.
This past weekend, a video showed a piglet running through the streets of West Hollywood. In the video Jamaal Harrison, who captured the video, is seen chasing the pig as he yells, “There’s a pig in West Hollywood!” He later says, “We gotta catch the pig. … Come back pig!”
The pig was eventually caught, and was dubbed Wilbur in homage to “Charlotte’s Web.”
But although he spent the first part of the week at the West L.A. Animal Services Shelter waiting for his owner to come get him, nobody came forward. A silent auction was held Thursday to find a new owner and Marcia Zwilling, managing director of the Diane Warren Foundation, made the winning bid on behalf of the Oscar-nominated songwriter.
“A lot of my friends were sending me footage of this poor little pig running through the streets of West Hollywood,” Warren told Variety.
