OT: "The pig was not distraught"

I couldn't improve on that sentence if I tried.

A baby pig left in a Tim Hortons washroom in Ridgetown, Ont., was
returned unharmed to its owner late Thursday.

An employee called police at 10:30 p.m. after a customer found the pig
in the restaurant's washroom.

The pig was "not distraught," the employee told police, and the
customer held the animal until police arrived.

Police quickly called officials at the University of Guelph's
Ridgetown campus, located down the street from the restaurant, to see
if the pig might belong to the agriculture school.

Dr. Paul Luimes, a swine specialist at the school, was awoken at
midnight by a phone call from campus security.

Luimes told CBC News he rushed to the Tim Hortons, where he found the
pig, now stored in a box, "getting rambunctious," he said.

He checked the pig's ears for tattoos, which the school uses to tag
its research pigs. Finding none, he left the restaurant to get feed
for the animal. By the time he returned, the police had transported
the pig via cruiser to the campus.

There, "we took the pig, set it up in a separate barn and gave it food
for the night," Luimes said.

Not sure if it was a prank: officer

The pig's owner, an 18-year-old agriculture student at the university,
recovered his pig Friday morning, Luimes said.

"I'm not sure if it was a prank or he legitimately left the pig inside
and forgot about it," Const. Michael Pearce, of the Chatham-Kent
Police Service, told CBC News.

The Tim Hortons employee told police she had seen a man enter the
washroom with something in his arms, but leave with his arms empty,
Pearce said.

Restaurant employees "completely scrubbed the restaurant and floors
with sanitizing solutions and then threw out all the cleaning
equipment," David Morelli, the director public affairs for Tim Hortons
Inc., told CBC News.

"I guess we're lucky we added a section to our health and safety
manual for when someone leaves a pig in your washroom," Morelli said.
