The 500-Pound Hog Who Escaped the Highway | Raleigh News

A 500-pound pig named Toby made a惊险 escape down I-40 in 2018, fleeing a dog attack that left him with bone-deep bites and a torn ear. Found exhausted by troopers, he was taken to animal control — where no one claimed him. To ensure he wouldn’t end up on someone’s dinner plate, they held an auction for bidders who wouldn’t use him for meat. A lone bidder paid just $1, and Toby found his forever home at the Blind Spot Animal Sanctuary. Meanwhile, this day also marks a 1975 federal lawsuit over racial discrimination in Wake County schools, a 1949 fugitive caught by his own mom, and a 1926 stunt driver in Hamlet who zoomed through crowds and railroad tracks without a punctured tire — and was found with an empty bottle that smelled of booze.
