阿拉斯加男子寻狗70天终团圆：爱犬在有熊出没的林地走失 11月4日晚走进自制围栏被寻回
阿拉斯加州 Soldotna 居民 Rufus Arroyo 寻找走失爱犬 70 天，终于在11月4日晚与它团圆。据 KTUU 报道，他饲养的特大号美国恶霸犬 Bella Rose 于8月26日在当地一家兽医诊所门口挣脱牵绳，消失在有熊出没的林地里；11月4日晚约9时30分，它走进 Arroyo 设在 Soldotna 垃圾填埋场的自制围栏，被安全捕获，目前已回家休养。
Bella Rose 是巧克力色与棕褐色相间的美国恶霸犬，性格胆小。8月26日，Arroyo 的兄弟带它到 Twin Cities Veterinary Clinic 补打疫苗记录，赶在它两岁生日之前办理；他的兄弟前一周刚摔断手臂，Bella Rose 绕着他不停打转，他怕再次摔伤手臂，只得松开牵绳。Bella Rose 随即冲过车流正密的 Kalifornsky Beach Road，消失在树林中。次日，当地电台 Radio Kenai 刊出寻狗启事：它戴着紫色扣环项圈与橙色训练项圈，灰色牵绳还挂在身上。
Arroyo 在 Soldotna 住了20年，在 Central Peninsula Hospital 做随叫随到工作，也繁殖恶霸犬。他对 KTUU 说，这70天里他不是在找一条宠物狗，「就像一位家长在找自己的孩子」。其间不断有目击消息传来，其中一处在 Slikok Creek 一带，那里常有熊活动，有人说它躲在一座倒塌的谷仓下面。
当地动物救助团体 Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers（KPAL）在 Kelly Griebel 带领下借出捕捉工具协助搜寻，基奈半岛自治市镇市长 Peter Micciche 与垃圾填埋场的工作人员也加入帮忙。Arroyo 自制了一个4英尺乘8英尺的围栏，装上灵敏的压力板机关，里面放上 Bella Rose 用过的毯子，设在垃圾填埋场，自己守在山坡上盯着实时摄像头画面。
11月4日晚约9时30分，Bella Rose 小心翼翼地走进围栏，用爪子扒了扒毯子，压力板随即触发、围栏门关上。这一天距离它走失整整70天。Arroyo 说，还有一个巧合让他事后才回过神：Bella Rose 的祖母、一条名叫 Athena Rose 的狗，恰好在两年前的同一天、同一时刻离世，此节按其自述呈现。
Bella Rose 现在已回家休养。Arroyo 对 KTUU 说，他哭了一整天，一时说不出话来，并感谢填埋场工人、市长 Micciche 与 KPAL 团体的帮助，让这场持续70天的搜寻有了结局。

Alaska Man Reunited With Lost Dog After 70 Days: Bella Rose Caught in Homemade Pen at Soldotna Landfill
After a 70-day search, Soldotna, Alaska resident Rufus Arroyo was reunited with his lost dog on the night of November 4. According to KTUU, Alaska's News Source, his extra-large American Bully, Bella Rose, slipped her leash outside a local veterinary clinic on August 26 and vanished into woods where bears roam. At about 9:30 p.m. on November 4, she walked into a homemade pen Arroyo had set at the Soldotna landfill and was caught safely. She is now home recovering.
Bella Rose is a chocolate-and-tan American Bully with a skittish temperament. On August 26, Arroyo's brother, who had broken his arm the week before, took her to Twin Cities Veterinary Clinic to update her shot records ahead of her second birthday. As she raced in circles around him, he let go of the leash rather than fall and injure his arm again. Bella Rose bolted across Kalifornsky Beach Road at the height of rush hour and disappeared into the trees. A lost-dog notice posted on Radio Kenai the next day described her purple buckle collar and orange training collar, with a gray leash still attached.
Arroyo, a 20-year Soldotna resident who works on call at Central Peninsula Hospital and breeds bully dogs, told KTUU the search never felt like looking for a pet: "It was just a parent looking after their kid." Sightings came in over the weeks, including one up Slikok Creek, an area known for bear activity, where she was reported sheltering under a collapsed barn.
Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers (KPAL), a local animal group led by Kelly Griebel, lent Arroyo traps, and Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Peter Micciche and landfill workers also helped. Arroyo built a custom 4-by-8-foot pen with a sensitive pressure-plate trigger, laid inside it a blanket Bella Rose had used, and set it at the Soldotna landfill, watching a live camera feed from a hill above.
At about 9:30 p.m. on November 4, Bella Rose stepped cautiously into the pen, pawed at her blanket, and the trigger shut the door behind her, exactly 70 days after she ran. Arroyo said he only later took in the timing: Bella Rose's grandmother, a dog named Athena Rose, had died exactly two years earlier, on the same day and, by his account, at the same hour, a detail presented here as he recounted it.
Bella Rose is now home recovering. Arroyo told KTUU he had been crying all day and was at a loss for words, and he credited the landfill workers, Mayor Micciche and KPAL for bringing her back.
