Ghostman had only been with his new owners 24 hours when he got loose on Dec. 2. The 11-day search, aided by a community of hundreds on Facebook, finally came to an end Tuesday night with the dog found safe and healthy.

Attracting the dog was difficult, because he had not yet developed a strong bond with his new family.

About9 p.m.Tuesday Ghostman was caught in a fenced yard off Upper Queen Street.

The owners are overjoyed to have him back, and say he is fitting in at home.
