The bear, a stray Cane Corso that had been wandering the Gulf Coast of Alabama for almost a year with a large box on its head, was recently caught and released from a plastic trap.
Bear’s story first made headlines in January of this year when it was reported by CBS affiliate WKRG following quite a few reports of a large dog walking around Mobile with a large black box on its head. One of the people told the ability that his son had seen the dog a few months earlier, but he believed this account only when he saw the animal himself. The story of this unlucky animal caught the general public’s attention, and WKRG published one other report, this time with the participation of the Municipal Office of Mobile Animal Services (COMAS). The dog’s head had been stuck in a metal box many months earlier, but all attempts to capture and free it had failed.
“The best way to describe this dog is ninja” – Robert Bryant, director of COMAS he saidadding that his staff tried using net guns, traps and tranquilizers to free the big dog from the plastic trap, but nothing helped. The frightened animal simply ran away once you tried to catch it, and a regular leash didn’t work due to the large box.
Fortunately for Bear, his plastic trap, which appeared to resemble the plastic top of a garbage can, had narrow openings that allowed the dog to eat and drink throughout his long ordeal, but walking around with that thing on his head couldn’t have been nice. very convenient.
Finally, on February 21, a rescue team used barricades to restrict the dog to a small area, and volunteer Martin Miller was brave enough to approach it and snatch away the metal box. Despite this, the frightened dog escaped from his captors, but since he now not had his “helmet”, COMAS was capable of trap him in a standard box trap.
News of the box dog’s rescue made headlines last month, however the Cane Corso, nicknamed “Bear” by rescuers, still needed a home. With his growing fame, finding someone to adopt him would not be too difficult, but on February 26, Martin Miller, the person who rescued Bear from a plastic head trap, announced that he can be adopting the Cane Corso himself. Since then, the cute pooch has grow to be an envoy for the City of Mobile Animal Services.
He officially got here home today after ending his homeless hug. This might be one in every of my favorite highlighters , follows me EVERYWHERE” – Miller he wrote on Facebookadding that Bear is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease.
