Runway runaway
AP reports that Choochy the poodle had Boston's Logan International Airport in chaos on Saturday when she managed to escape from her kennel.
The dog was being unloaded after a flight from Detroit when the poodle broke free and made a run for it, dashing across runways and taxiways and evading airport personnel for 17 hours.
The chase involved 15 state police, firefighters, operations personnel and even a few airline electrcians.
The poodle was finally nabbed, frightened and tired, and returned to her family after being treated for minor injuries at an animal hospital.
Flying these days is such an ordeal.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
