Sand Lake beagle found, maybe.

I got this e-mail this morning from Barbara Carlson, with Friends of the Anchorage Wildlife Refuge, related to my column from a few weeks ago about the a mystery beagle waking residents in Sand Lake.

Hi Julia--I thought folks might like to know that FAR got an anonymous call recently giving us the location of the beagle's owner. The beagle had been spotted loose in the ACWR yet again. Anchorage Animal Care and Control visited the owner who admitted that their beagle was getting out often. Animal Control is working with them to help resolve the problem.

Perhaps there will soon be an end to the yowling in the darkness?
