JACKSON, N.H. -  A little pig named Petunia is back home after hitting the slopes in New Hampshire on Monday.

The signs at the Windy Hill trail clearly state no dogs - but they don't say anything about pigs.

"This is truly a first for me," an officer with the Jackson Police Department wrote. "Received a call of a Pig blocking the XC ski trails!"

The officer got the pig to cooperate by offering up an apple, and getting a leash on her. Petunia was led back to her home, where she was ready for a nap.
