HAMMOND - After Salty Joe's pig mascot was stolen from its storefront on Christmas day, deputies were able to safely recover her and return her to her rightful place. 

The restaurant posted security footage of the pig being stolen on Dec. 25, and thanks to the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office, the pig has been recovered with only slight damage to her ear. 

"She is in recovery as we speak," Salty Joe's posted on Facebook Friday. 

Deputies say Mrs. Piggy was located at an apartment complex nearby and the owners of Salty Joe's have chosen not to press charges.
