There’s a happy ending to a Jamaica Plain man’s search for his missing dog-wolf hybrid. Taupaw, a Dutch Wolfhound, went missing Thursday night and, according to owner Alexander Humphreys, had been making tracks all over Boston and Brookline. Humphreys and the U.S. Coast Guard disagreed on whether or not it was Taupaw photographed on the ice of Quincy Bay.
UPDATE: Animal Control found Taupaw.

The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has holiday treats and bake-sale goodies this weekend, continuing through Sunday.

A petition drive launched by a Jamaica Plain cat owner after the MSPCA euthanized his pet leaves out key information about the elderly feline, the JP-based animal advocacy organization announced Wednesday.

Dryden, a cat with six toes on each paw who enjoyed knocking over cups of water, never left Benjamin Day’s JP yard. But when the elderly, sick cat didn’t show back up one recent Sunday night, his owner started posting flyers. On Tuesday the owner checked in with the JP-based MSPCA to find that, only hours earlier, the animal welfare organization had euthanized his cat.

One of the people who trained Lydia, a Great Dane service dog who went missing Friday from the Jamaica Pond area, confirmed the 18-month-old dog found her own way home on Saturday.
