RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in Alabama say a severed
foot brought home by a family dog belongs to a bear - and not a
child as they first thought.
Police in Russellville spent two days searching surrounding
wooded areas for a small child after a family dog brought the foot
to its home late Saturday.
Chief Chris Hargett says the structure of the bear's foot was
close enough to a human's to fool an orthopedic surgeon who
examined it. But forensic tests later found its origin.
