Wild Boar sighting

For the first time ever, today I saw a wild boar in the wild. Having seen their tracks and the shoveling of earth, I knew they were in the area but never expected to see one in broad daylight. My dog had been sniffing around a bramble patch at the edge of the field and we had moved on about twenty yards. Then suddenly, from behind us a huge boar bolted and sped across the field with my dog in hot pursuit. Fortunately, the dog is accustomed to chasing deer for a short distance and then backing off as he did with the boar.
