Two wolf dogs raised by a breeder man in Fujimi Town, Nagano Prefecture escaped from the cage on the 11th.
The dog was captured on the afternoon of the 12th, nearly 20 hours after the report, when police and others came out to capture it.
According to police, after 6 am on the 11th, a breeder man who was the owner noticed that two wolf dogs had disappeared in Fujimi Town, Nagano Prefecture.
Around 6:30 pm, a nearby resident reported to the police that a dog was walking on the road, and from the morning of the 12th, about 50 people including police and town officials came out to capture the dog.
Both of them are 3-year-old females about 1 meter in length and were found to be in the forest on the premises where they were kept, but the wolf dog is timid and vigilant and runs away when a person approaches. Therefore, the capture work was difficult.
Then, by using a net or sasumata to hunt down, both of them were captured after 2:00 pm on the 12th, almost 20 hours after the report.
According to the owner, a man in his 60s, he has 18 wolf dogs on the premises, and it seems that the dogs broke through a part of the cage and escaped.
"Don't blame the wolf dog"
The man said, "I'm glad I was able to capture it safely, but I'm sorry to bother many people. It's my mistake, so don't blame the wolf dog."
