- Black and white husky mix running on County Road 30 just west of Daphne near the house with the antique John Deere tractor out front call me at 763-245-9829 and I can describe his travel pattern, but I couldn’t catch him.
He does have some kind of shock collar or possibly a invisible fence collar that was black in color. (Nextdoor Trail Haven)
