A happy ending to the story of a dog living on the lam in the Welland Canal.

1:30am Sunday Max wandered into a live trap and the Lincoln County Humane Society was able to pick him up.

Executive Director Kevin Strooband says the 18 month old dog was brought to a foster home in Toronto from a rescue in Ohio.

He escaped from what was hoped to be his forever home in Jordan through a window screen after four days.

Max has been on the loose since August.

Strooband says although he has lost a little weight, Max was doing well living in the wild.

He'll be moving back to his initial foster home in Toronto.
