HARRISTON – A wily hog  has been on the loose in the west end of town here for a full week. Two pigs escaped while being unloaded by a Durham area farmer at Harriston Packers on Arthur Street on Aug. 14.

The animal has been spotted wandering local backyards and the area along the Maitland River behind the packing plant. A makeshift trap set up by the farmer under an apple tree the reddish-coloured swine was known to frequent failed to corral it.
