The Song Challenge: An Official Double
Dip Dare . . . -- Dare One: When This Pig Gets Pumped . . . -- A
pot-bellied pig sank his teeth into the leg of a burglar who was trying to rob his owner. Arnold, who weighs 21
stone, also stopped a burglar from getting into a neighbour's house by biting him.
The animal has become a celebrity among police officers in his home town of Minneapolis.
Arnold first showed his crime fighting abilities when his owner Becky Moyer spotted burglars
in her garage. She told the Star Tribune: "There were two guys in there.
One of them put something in my back that felt like a gun, and they said they wanted my
purse. I said my purse was in the house. When we went in, I screamed
for Arnold, and he got up and grabbed the guy by the leg. He yelled, 'There's a
pig in here!' and ran. There was blood all over." She added: "The
police gave him that 'crime-fighter' name. When they're in the neighbourhood,
they like to stop by and pet him." Arnold was a present from her boyfriend.
"Some people get lingerie," she said. "I got a pig." Dare Two: . . .
The Police Get Pissed . . . -- A Florida policeman who caught
a trouble-making pig after a 300-yard chase had to call for back-up to help him keep it
under 'arrest'. Ocala officer Carl Dunlap managed to hold on to the 14-stone
pig's ears and hind legs but said he was afraid the pig would wriggle free.
Three fellow officers arrived on the scene and managed to herd it on to a trailer.
Residents had complained the pig had been destroying property. "He spotted the
hog, chased him for about 300 yards and finally was able to wrestle him to the ground,'' said
Captain Robert Douglas, who heard his shouts for help over the radio. Minutes
later, Captain Douglas, Captain Mike Deen and Deputy John Shivley arrived on the scene to
help Dunlap end the struggle. "The first thing Dunlap said was that he sure was
glad we showed up because he really didn't know how much longer he was going to be able
to hold on," Captain Douglas said. The four men loaded the pig on to a trailer
and took it to Marion County Animal Control buildings, where officials placed the pig in
a dog pen.
Arnold the Crime Fighting Pig by Jack the Sailor
(The whole story here)
Well you know Bubba and Babe and that famous pig Porky.
A pig may be chubby a pig may be dorky.
But do you remember?
This protective family member?
Arnold the crime figh-ting pig
Had a very shiny snout
And if he ever touched you
You would want to kick him out
All off the police officers
Drop right in and pet this hog
They even prefer Arnold
To a normal police dog
Cause one fatefull february
a mugger came to curse
to his owner, Becky Moyer
I'm gonna steal your purse
Then piggy Arnold bit him
A bite that he could not ignore
While Axel Squaled beneath the table
Arnold was the uber Boar
Then all the police officers
gave him that crime fighting name
Arnold the crime figh-ting pig
"Cops" will never be the same
Now he's on "Law and Order"
Lenny's got a new car mate
Babe is gonna be a D.A.
Isn't Television Great!
He's not the "Special Victims"
Or on "Criminal Intent"
He'll put the bite on muggers
He'll catch those crooks to pay the rent
He's a pig investgator
He can see through alibis
No crook can keep from talking
Once they get in Arnold's sty
(outro to the tune of "feelings")
Squealing, Yes the crooks are squealing
Just like a Pigggggggggg . . . !
