When I saw "man crying like a little girl" I thought this was another David Gregory story.

Yes, a good story. I used to work for a trucking company and the drivers there would often go 1000 miles out of route to see their girlfriend(s), assorted lot lizards, and their wives. Usually in that order.

parsy, the realist.

I was wondering how they captured it if no one could get close to it. So, here's some additional info from another source.
Then Withers got a phone call from Judy Fuller, the animal control officer in Little Suamico. She told him local folks were sure Nugget was the dog that had been hanging around town lately but nobody could get close to it.

So Withers made the drive, bringing Moose Edward, his a 55-pound lab shepherd mix.

Withers spotted Nugget Thursday lying motionless under a parked truck. The dog wouldn't budge and instead watched Withers and Moose play in the snow for 25 minutes before emerging.

Except for a few briars and an extra-shaggy coat, Nugget looked the same, Withers said. Local residents had left everything from hot dogs to cooked venison to help the dog keep its weight up.

I'd have walked the 1000 miles to recover one of mine.

Such a nice story, and what nice people to leave food for Nugget for 8 months.
