Firefighters rescued a pig in distress after it fell into a manhole in Atlanta.
The pig, named Rick "Bacon" Ross, weighs 200 pounds.
Bacon’s rescue required a crew of 16 people and special equipment.
His owner couldn’t be more thankful.
"Actually I’m really relieved,” said Latoria Middleton. “I’m glad that he’s okay. At first I was terrified and now, I just have hope.”
Middleton said she has had him since he was just a week old.
