Radio station go-between as purloined porker returned to Calgary pub

CALGARY — A beloved Fibreglas pig named Henry that was taken by bacon burglars from a Calgary bar is heading home.

The 14-kilogram ornament — a fixture at the Unicorn Pub in the city’s southwest for many years — was purloined sometime early Sunday morning as last call was approaching.

Thursday afternoon, an anonymous caller contacted local radio station CJAY 92, saying the ornament had been “found by a friend” and agreed to bring it down.

Henry showed up on the station’s loading dock last evening, sporting a Hawaiian shirt and a note that read, in part “Just a pig looking for a party! Had a wicked time!”

Station staff were to escort Henry back to the pub Friday morning.
