SUDBURY — Kaitlyn Cox is the owner of two dogs, Jim and Hudson. While walking the pair on a popular trail behind her parents’ house recently, Hudson got caught in a rabbit snare.

“In the bush there’s a bit of a foot path that a lot of people take with their dogs and about three feet off of the path in the deeper snow my dog was trekking through and he yelped and one of my parents had gone over to see what had happened and his paw was stuck,” says Cox.

Thankfully, Hudson only suffered minor injuries. Cox says she is well aware it could have been a lot worse. She never expected something like this would happen, especially so close to home.
