Technology Deployed In Roaming Dog Hunt

Technology Deployed In Roaming Dog Hunt:

Animal experts are turning to technology to catch a dog that has been roaming the woods in New Hampshire for more than a year. The golden retriever known as Sam escaped from his owners in May of 2004 and has been spotted repeatedly in the woods around Candia. The plan to catch Sam involves tracking the dog on an infrared camera as he approaches one of his feeding areas. Then hidden observers plan to drop a remote-controlled net. If that fails, they plan to shoot the dog with a small dose of sedative.

The dog isn't considered a danger to people, although he has been known to get into unattended garbage.
The plan to capture Sam could be implemented as early as this week.
