Rocky’s return

Nearly three months after breaking out of a first storey apartment in Ottawa, a beloved emotional-support dog was recovered in Masham on July 2, thanks to a mysterious, anonymous tip and the quick thinking of La Pêche’s resident ‘dog-catcher’.

Ever since Rocky, a seven-year-old Amstaff Bull Terrier, escaped on April 14, his owner Taylor Golden has had a few dead-end suggestions in response to the hundreds of lost dog posters she had posted around her neighbourhood and online.

Understandably, she was skeptical when a man she didn’t know called on June 30 to tell her he knew where her dog was.
