SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, OH — A young camel named Scooby is back at his Springfield Township home after going on a 90-minute jaunt that blocked traffic and provided an uncommon photo opportunity for drivers.

A neighbor of the owner who was on her way home from work alerted the Lucas County Sheriff's Office. Neighbors helped corral Scooby and return him home, the newspaper said.
