'He Should Be In A Marathon': American Songwriter Diane Warren Adopts Viral Runaway Pig Wilbur

A video of a pig running through West Hollywood, California, went viral on social media a few days ago. Animal control managed to safely capture the pig, but no owner came forward to claim him. Consequently, Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren won a silent auction to adopt him for her Malibu animal sanctuary. Diane expressed her thoughts to KTLA 5 News, saying, "I saw the footage like everybody else did, and people kept sending it to me as well.

By the way, he should be in a marathon because that's a fast pig." She contacted her friend Marcia, who oversees her rescue ranch, and they decided to save Wilbur and find a way to bring him in. It was discovered that Wilbur was scheduled to be at a silent auction at a shelter, and they managed to secure him by bidding on him.

Diane recently shared an update on Wilbur's well-being, stating that he is doing great and living a life full of adventure. Netizens have reacted positively to Diane's decision to adopt Wilbur, with many praising her for her animal advocacy efforts. One Instagram user commented, "We LVE this news story soooo much! We love Wilbur and we love Diane!!

Thank you for your always-awesome and inspiring animal advocacy!" Another user expressed their gratitude for Diane's commitment to saving innocent creatures. This is not the first time Diane has stepped in to rescue an animal; in 2021, she helped save an escaped slaughterhouse cow that had spent over a day running loose in Southern California.
