Dog on the run in Greenland now Found

Stratham NH - An Akita adopted from the NHSPCA in Stratham was on its way to the veterinarian in Greenland when she got away from her owner. "Kita" as the dog is known, had been missing and was on the run for ten days until she was finally caught today by Steve Sprowl, investigator and Manager of the NHSPCA Field Services Division.

After many calls and numerous sightings, she was spotted today on Bayshore Drive in Greenland. Following her tracks for more than two miles, she was finally seen but remained at a distance. She was then tracked for over three hours before being finally lured with food and captured.

"Kita has lost a little weight and has a small scrape on her nose. She will need to be properly checked out by a veterinarian, but otherwise appears to be in great shape after her many days on the lam," reports Sprowl.

The NHSPCA would like to thank the Greenland Police Department for their assistance in bringing Kita safely home.
