Policeman and police dog seen off by pigs

A policeman and his dog have been left red-faced after a video of them being chased by pigs was posted on the interweb.

Pc Derek Darling and police dog Ash were on a routine patrol of the New Forest when they were ambushed by a pack of angry swine.

The 45-year-old officer was forced to run for nearly half a mile through the forest to his car as the porkers snapped at his heels.

The unfortunate officer thought that with no witness to the incident, his blushes would be saved.

But a quick-witted student on a school trip in the area captured the hilarious chase on his mobile phone, and posted the video on YouTube.com.

I believe the quick-witted student is named Simon Woolley, and here is his video.

With many thanks to the aforementioned Simon!
