Summary:
AZTEC, NM — It isn’t unusual for James Stackhouse’s husky, Ivy, to disappear for a couple minutes while they are out hiking. She’s never out of sight for long and, at first, he didn’t think much about her absence as they were hiking near Lake Farmington on Nov. 14. Stackhouse said he whistled for Ivy and heard her scream. The two-year-old dog had been attracted by a deer carcass and ended up trapped in a leg trap.
Result:
A spokeswoman for New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, said the incident that resulted in Ivy being caught in the trap remains under investigation.
