Missing Pennsylvania Pig Kevin Bacon Returns Home After Two Weeks Thanks to Benadryl-Laced Sticky Bun and Actor's Plea

Runaway pig Kevin Bacon's fortnight adventure ends as owner Chelsea Rumbaugh entices him back with a Benadryl-laced sticky bun; actor Kevin Bacon's public appeal assisted in safe return.

  • After more than two weeks on the run, a Juliana pig named Kevin Bacon was finally caught and returned to his home in Cumberland Township, Pennsylvania.
  • Owner Chelsea Rumbaugh launched a Facebook campaign “Bring Kevin Home” to help locate Kevin, which quickly gathered a large following and even caught the attention of actor Kevin Bacon who added his voice to the campaign.
  • Notable signs of Kevin's adventures included frequent appearances at neighbours' homes and in the woods near his home, but he always evaded capture until a sticky bun laced with Benadryl was used to subdue him.
  • Rumbaugh found Kevin inside a new pen where the sticky bun had been placed after consuming the treat, she then quickly closed the gate to ensure his capture.
  • Rumbaugh, happy to have Kevin back, is now considering writing a series of children’s books based on Kevin’s escapades and hopes to open a pig sanctuary and subsistence farm.
