    The Stuff Of Nightmares For Dog Owners

    I would have been frantic. Thank heaven she was finally caught.


    Runway runaway: Poodle on the loose delays flights, evades capture for hours at Boston airport
    By Associated Press

    11:02 AM CDT, October 27, 2008
    BOSTON (AP) _ Choochy the poodle is a "runway runaway."

    Boston's Logan International Airport officials say Choochy escaped from her kennel as she was being unloaded after a flight from Detroit Saturday night and scampered across runways and taxiways.

    Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella says the poodle evaded airport personnel for more than 17 hours and delayed at least eight flights.

    About 15 state police, firefighters, operations personnel and even electricians chased Choochy late into the night, delaying flights for up 30 minutes.


    Orlandella says the poodle was frightened, tired and hungry when she was finally lured to safety with food early Sunday afternoon.

    The dog was treated for minor injuries at an animal hospital and returned to her family.

    Hmmm, they didn't get the owners out there to lure the dog to them? That would have been the first thing I thought of. Instead of chasing her for 17 hours! I know if it had been MY dog I would have insisted that I go out and get her. I would have thrown a big ol fit!! LOL
    But I'm glad she is safe and sound now. That's why flying an animal is so darn scary to me.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Maybe they had already arrived at their destination. If Boston was a connecting point for them, they may have been on their way to Los Angeles by then.

    Indeed scary. But it sounds like the airport staff gave their all towards making sure the dog was caught and safe.

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
