Driving the news: The mini horse was spotted Wednesday afternoon at Elkhardt Road and Parkway Lane, about a block from Hull Street, per the shelter's post.

• Three hours of lawn grazing later, the shelter said the horse was "captured safely," but the search for the owner continues.

Zoom in: Commenters were quick to draw comparisons to Li'l Sebastian, who also wandered off in the show "Parks and Rec."

Our favorite comment: "Have you tried calling the Parks dept. in Pawnee, Indiana?"

What we're watching: For someone to claim the escape artist many are calling a "chunky baby."
