SULLIVAN'S ISLAND, SC (WCSC) -
A Seattle family swimming in the ocean off Sullivan's Island were caught by surprise when they spotted a wild pig swimming not too far from them Friday morning.
"My husband spotted it first and at first thought it was a dog," said Schwartz who was out in the water with her husband, Eric and their two kids, Luca and Ruby."It wasn't until we saw the snout and tail that my husband said,'Is that a pig?'"
The pig was about 20 to 30 feet away from the family when it was first spotted.
According to Schwartz, when the pig got closer to the shore, another nearby family saw it, and one of them helped pull the pig to the beach.

Glad it had a happy ending. I never knew pigs could swim, but it never crossed my mind.
