After six weeks and two days, a missing dog was returned to her owners. Rachel, a 4-year-old red Chow Chow, went missing March 19 near the Westfield UTC shopping mall. She was spotted several times over the past few weeks in the area of UC San Diego. Rachel's owners announced the great news this afternoon.

After three attempts of setting traps in a canyon near the university, Rachel was captured on May 1. Her owners, Justin and Lorrie, told La Jolla Patch that she is at home resting. Over the past few weeks, Justin and Lorrie, of UTC, created numerous signs in the community asking for help in locating their pet, created a Facebook page and Twitter account to help bring home their dog who they called "shy and non-aggressive." The couple even offered up a reward.
