After a stressful couple of days Aron Lace is thankful to be reunited with with his beloved Odin, shown together here Wednesday June 22, 2011.
FAIRBANKS — A dog that fled a burning downtown duplex was found safe a few miles away this week.
Odin, a 3-year old German shepherd, reportedly snarled at and then ran away from firefighters putting out a fire in an arctic entrance at a Wickersham Street building early Monday morning.
A tip from an animal control officer who saw Odin at a transfer station led the dog’s owner, Aron Lace, to find him about a mile up the Old Steese Highway later Monday.
The reunion was joyous, and it took no time for Odin to go back to his usual spot, Lace said.
“After about five seconds, he bolted into the back seat of my car,” he said.
Lace said he had received about 15 phone calls from people who had seen Odin or who wanted to offer their support.
Odin is named after the Norse god of war, magic and prophecy. Lace said he plans to breed Odin and name one of the male puppies Thor.
