After three days on the lam from his home at a petting zoo in Wisconsin, Chesney the kangaroo returned home after being spooked by stray dogs. His escape from Sunshine Farm in Necedah, Wisconsin led to a three-day search for the animal. The search party used rented heat-seeking drones to track down the animal, which owner Colton Johnson described as unique due to its unique heat signature. Chesney was found with no injuries or cuts, but otherwise healthy.
