Around Wyoming, Wednesday, August 14

A missing Canadian dog has been found… in Riverton! The Riverton Ranger reports Police Officer Don Nethicumara pulled over a man for running a red light. With the man was a small, white poodle named Teddy. Teddy had been dognapped from the home he shared with his human, Alaina Tripp, in September of last year. He spent a few days running the halls of the police department before getting his paws on a plane ticket to return home.
