'He was very focused' | |
Ms Landauer provided more details on her Instagram page, saying the incident was a good example of someone persevering to achieve their goal. | |
She said there were many nude sunbathers at the spot when the wild boars appeared. | |
While the man was bathing, she writes, the boars calmly ate a pizza from his backpack and then "they were looking for a dessert". | |
"They found this yellow bag and decided to take it away. But the man who owned it realized it was the bag with his laptop. | |
"So, he was very focused and run [sic] behind the boars in order to get it back." | |
The onlookers "adored him how focused he stayed and when he came back with his yellow bag in the hand we all clapped and congratulated him for his success". | |
