  • Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that's mostly terrier, became a folk hero after leaping from a second-story window in a now-viral video.

The article from STLtoday discusses the story of Scrim, a dog who escaped from a New Orleans shelter in 2019. Scrim, a pit bull mix, was initially picked up as a stray and was set to be adopted, but he escaped during a transfer between shelters. Since his escape, Scrim has been spotted multiple times around the city, becoming somewhat of a local legend. Efforts to recapture him have been ongoing, with various sightings reported, but he has managed to evade capture, living off the land and the kindness of residents who occasionally feed him. The article highlights the community's involvement in trying to help Scrim, the challenges of capturing a wary, free-roaming dog, and the emotional investment of those who have followed his story, hoping for his safe return.
