Oreos Cookies Help Lure 450LB 'Kevin Bacon' Back Home
"Kevin Bacon" was returned home safe with a belly full of Oreo cookies after he snuck out for a night on the town while his owner was away.

KENOSHA COUNTY, WI — Kevin Bacon, the 450-pound pig living in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was sent home safe with a belly full of Oreo cookies after he snuck out for a night on the town while his owner was away.
On Friday, Bacon showed up at the back door of a house in Brighton.
Homeowner Jake Molgaard eventually got in touch with Bacon's owner, who was out of town for the weekend. "He’s like, 'Yeah, his name is Kevin Bacon and he’s actually a little lonely, so he’s probably just looking for company,'" Molgaard told WTMJ.

Turns out Bacon had wandered off from a nearby hobby farm and wasn't eager to get home.
Deputies from the Kenosha Sheriff’s Department responded and helped the Molgaard family bring Kevin home, luring him along the way with Oreo cookies.
