FOND DU LAC - The mystery behind the little stray dog that evaded capture in the city for five months has been solved.
Butters, the fluffy, red-haired dog who won over hearts in a south-side neighborhood, is actually a Texan, her rescuers discovered.
And somehow the pup, who was originally adopted in Oshkosh last year, made her way to Fond du Lac where she caused a flurry of concern that brought together neighbors, rescue groups and even a professional trapper.
After surviving a Wisconsin winter on her own by outsmarting all human efforts, Butters was captured on April 20 in the backyard of Karen and Ed Sheppard. The couple had been feeding the dog since last November in an effort to coax her off the streets.
