Dog Bolts from Plane at Newark Liberty Wednesday
Owner brought in to retrieve cornered dachshund

“Henry” the dachshund somehow bolted free from a flight shortly after 7 pm and ran around the tarmac before being cornered near a fence. But Port Authority police were unable to capture the animal, eventually getting the dog’s owner, a Mercer County woman, to lure the dog back into custody.
