Large, brown dog called 'Shaggy' evades capture for 6 months
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A large, brown dog spotted wandering neighborhoods in western Michigan has evaded capture attempts for more than six months.
The dog, called "Shaggy" after his shaggy appearance, has made his home in an area that's surrounded by wooded areas and large ravines. MLive.com reports that some area residents want to capture him, but he managed to slip through their grasp.
The dog has been seen around parts of Kent County, including Cascade Township. Avery Sullenger-Wedder, who is involved in capture efforts, says residents are worried that he needs a home. She says he's not aggressive toward people and "will happily walk beside you as you walk your dog."
WZZM-TV reports Kent County Animal Control also has been unsuccessful in capturing the dog.
