Dog Caught in Trap on Utah Trail

Summary:

UTAH COUNTY, UT – For the second time this month, a pet dog was injured after getting caught in an animal trap placed near a popular trail that winds through the Wasatch. Sarah Krout from Utah County reached out to FOX 13 News this week to voice her concerns. Krout, a student at Rocky Mountain University, regularly took her dog named Huck for long walks at Mount Timpanogos Park, which permits dogs to be off-leash. “He was doing his thing…and started screaming,” Krout recalled. “I thought he was getting attacked by a bobcat or something like that.”

Krout ran towards the noise and found Huck stuck in an animal trap. Fortunately, he wasn’t badly hurt, but she was left frustrated by the experience and went back to measure the area with her boyfriend. They say the trap was less than 50 feet off-trail.
