The Guardian • • nation
Key Points:
- Luna, a 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier who had been missing in Yellowstone National Park for over a month, was captured in a live trap and reunited with her owners.
- The dog had been seen wandering through employee housing, crossing intersections, and entering lodges, showing strong survival instincts despite being underweight.
- Luna escaped from her family's cabin on September 10 after housekeeping accidentally opened the door, leading to a chaotic search and initial fears she had died.
- Volunteers, led by Katie Boucher, used the family’s scent to bait a live trap and avoided food that might attract predators, successfully capturing Luna before winter’s cold weather set in.
- The search was complicated by locals and tourists chasing Luna, which caused her to retreat further into the park, but the coordinated effort ultimately ensured her safe recovery.
