Video: Search for missing wolf continues
A wild wolf chase ended, apparently happily, in the New Brighton Thursday morning.
A staff member from the science center from which it escaped shot the animal with a tranquilizer dart about 9:30 and captured it in a net in New Brighton, where it had been spotted in the early morning hours. The animal appeared to be the wolf that had been on the run for four days.

Hi Sharon,
When Kathy spotted an emaciated Rottweiler along the side of a highway in Tennessee, she realized that there was something different about "Ella." Ella was friendly and eager for attention -- behavior that is unusual for either a stray or an abused animal. She had clearly been loved by someone.
In the wooded area just off the highway, Kathy discovered a "nest" where Ella had been sleeping (pictured here). It was strewn with someone's personal items, including a toothbrush, razor, comb and candle.

Then Kathy remembered something crucial. A few weeks earlier, a terrible car wreck had taken place on the highway... very close to where Ella had made her makeshift home. Kathy contacted the state's highway patrol and learned that a family had been in the car, and that they all survived.
Rescuers had never seen Ella, who had likely been thrown from the car. The dog foraged on her own for a few weeks, drinking from a drainage ditch and patiently waiting for beloved family members who thought their special pet was dead!

American Humane stepped in when they learned that the family's medical bills had caused tremendous financial strain. The money they had set aside for a new home had to be used for medical bills instead. While the family struggled with this financial hardship, American Humane provided a critical grant to Kathy's animal shelter to help fund Ella's care.
Though unable to bring Ella back into their new home at this time, the family was thrilled to see her and hopes to be reunited for good in the future. Meanwhile, Ella is living safely and comfortably in a loving foster home.
During this month of giving thanks, please consider a donation to help fund American Humane's Foreclosure Pets Grants. A single act of generosity -- no matter how small -- will make a tremendous difference for pets like Ella, whose families are undergoing extreme financial hardship. Get started >>
With gratitude,
Robyn E.

"Felony" escaped his kennel, ended up at the pound and was destroyed.
The police clearly did not care about this dog as evidenced by the poor score "3" and in the manner that the police did not follow up in … read more looking for the lost dog. When they have millions of squads on the streets driving around, one couldn't have stopped or driven over to the shelter(s) once a day to see if the little guy had arrived at one? No one could spare a few seconds (disconnecting themselves from the internet and DVD's they watch in their patrol cars) to see if he arrived at a shelter? Clearly no one gave a crap about this poor guy who was there for one purpose - to back them up and serve them. Sad.

If there are so many people unsure if this is the wolf, wouldn't it be helpful if you posted a picture again with this issue/article?
