Wrangell dog Thorton is home safe and sound after a multi-week disappearance upriver. Thorton, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and his owner Brandon Kenfield were up the Stikine River about three weeks ago. Their boat scraped against some rocks, Kenfield said, and both he and the dog jumped out to get the boat loose. By the time he had the boat cleared, Kenfield said Thorton had disappeared into the woods.
Kenfield said he and others made regular trips back up the river to look for Thorton over two weeks. They finally found him two weeks later. Thorton had lost some weight, he said, and he'd gotten quilled by a porcupine. All in all, though, he said that his dog is recovering well and seems happy to be home.
"It was a tough couple of weeks for him, but he just wanted to play when he got back," Kenfield said.
