From John “special ops” Hood’s link:
The dog’s owner, Wayne Lowman of Connelly Springs, said Dan trailed a raccoon for a mile and a half before he followed the raccoon into the pipe.
He and the dog previously hunted in the area, but Dan has “never crossed the highway,” Lowman said.
That explains why the chicken got away.
Incidentally, there’s no truth to the rumor that (and this will make Michael Moore’s day) a fellow from Mi’ssippi was nearby hollerin’ “KNOCK ‘IM OUT JOHN!“
