Lol.

Indeed a dog found his way through the metal fence yesterday, I think it was. Police phoned in ATC informing it had been seen inside the perimeter.

It took FOREVER to find him, affecting tons of flights. There were three waiting to land on the air when it was reported.

Firesquad finally cornered him and he left through the same fence opening he presumely came in.

The fence was noted for a patch repair.

There was even a false alarm when someone phoned in ATC saying it had been found. Just as a Binter was granted permission to takeoff, another call came in saying it was the wrong dog: that one belonged to some airport worker in the military area. The "real" wild one was found few minutes later.

Lots of lol.

Catching a run-away dog is not as easy a task as it seems, specially in a large area. Funny how such a small critter can cause so much trouble.
