LUNA rescued!

Puck told us about a little dog LUNA was wandering and lost in Yellowstone - over a month ago! But they finally FINALLY caught her! Otis said, wow she lost a lot of weight!   After 34 days on the loose in Yellowstone National Park, Luna the Jack Russell Terrier is on her way home. Katie Boucher, president of Norris Arc Training and Recovery Center, led the search for the 10-year-old dog, which was spotted dozens of times throughout the area but proved difficult to catch. Boucher’s team had only days left before they would have to suspend the search for the winter. Around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Boucher told Cowboy State Daily via text message that the search had ended with the news so many had been waiting on. “We got her!” Boucher said.

quote of the day

Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
