Several people in the area have seen the dog running around and SVT has talked to people who have tried to catch it without results.
According to information, the dog must have wandered around the area for almost two weeks.
- I have tried to attract it but have not come closer than five meters, says the hunter Maria Mattsson Njammi who took the picture of the dog.
Could not attract the dog
The reindeer herder Bengt-Erik Pittja has also experienced that the dog is very shy.
He has his cabin a few kilometers from the barrier at Sitasvägen where the dog has been seen by several people.
- A few days ago the dog was on our farm when we came to the cottage but it left when it saw us.
Of course, my daughter wanted to give it food, but that did not attract the dog either.
"Strange dog owners"
On Tuesday afternoon, a catch cage was placed out, but at the time of writing, the dog has not been near it.
- There are strange dog owners who behave in this way.
I think it's a group of hunters, far away, who have been in a hurry to get home.
A flight has been waiting and they have not found the dog in time but left without it, says Bengt-Erik Pittja.
What do you think the dog goes to fate to meet?
- So far it has access to water and it is not so-called that it freezes to death, but if no one manages to catch it, it is probably the most merciful to shoot it, says Bengt-Erik Pittja.
