Persistence pays off in search for dog

I received word that a lost greyhound named Leah (pictured) was rescued after 19 days on the loose in the Colonial Park area. Information about the search for Leah was the subject of a recent blog post. Below is an excerpt from an email sent to the Gazette:

We had been able to draw her into feeding stations from time to time, so she was getting some nourishment. Unfortunately she is extremely thunder-phobic so every time we were on the verge of trapping her, a storm would hit and she be off and running again and we were back at square one until the next sighting.

At roughly 4:00 am on Friday, June 17, she showed up at her home and barked to be let in. She was dehydrated, had some lacerations/abrasions, some tick bites and had lost weight, but was miraculously healthy considering her situation.
