Wilbur, a runaway pig spotted in West Hollywood, has been adopted after a silent auction at the West L.A. Animal Shelter, where four people expressed interest in giving him a home.
Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren won the auction through her foundation's managing director, Marcia Zwilling, after seeing news clips of Wilbur running loose.
Wilbur will live at a seven-acre animal sanctuary in Malibu, enjoying a life with other animals and gourmet salads.
Diane Warren, who already has a pig named Wilbur, is excited to welcome the new pig and is considering renaming him "Hollywood."
The story recalls a previous runaway animal incident involving a cow escaping a slaughterhouse, highlighting Warren's commitment to rescuing animals.
