text: An Iditarod sled dog who escaped from handlers in Anchorage has been found safe after being on the run for a month. Alaskan Husky, Sarabi, was returned to a friend of the musher Laura Allaway, on Monday night who will be reunited with the animal on April 28 when she returns from traveling. The three-year-old dog was spotted on April 15 near Glenn Highway and then again last Friday near Reverend Tim Carrick's United Protestant Presbyterian Church before being caught on Monday night, according to KTUU. Carrick and his family set up a cage trap in the woods between the church and his home, and used four bowls of dog kibbles, a pot of chicken stock, liverwurst and a motion activated camera to help capture Sarabi.

The three-year-old dog was then seen near Glenn Highway around April 15 before being spotted in Palmer . 'I was pretty sure that she wasn't around anymore after three weeks of no confirmed sighting,' Allaway told ABC News. Sarabi escaped from handlers on March 21 after being dropped by musher Allaway's team during the Iditarod race. The animal was then seen near Glenn Highway around April 15, and then in Palmer, about 40 miles northeast of Anchorage. After Sarabi was spotted in near Carrick's home and the church in Palmer, searchers asked him for help. She was seen on video eating the food in the cage trap before it was decided on the evening of April 20 to capture her, and the trap was closed on Monday night. 'This morning  when I got up, she was all the way inside the cage and licking the back' Carrick told KTUU on Monday. 'One of the ladies had put some liverwurst or something in the back of the cage so she would get more comfortable with going in'. Rev. Tim Carrick set up a cage trap in the woods between his home and the church and placed inside over a course of a few days four bowls of dog kibbles, a pot of chicken stock and liverwurst (above the trap) On Facebook Allaway wrote on Tuesday thanking everyone for their help in bringing Sarabi back home to Fairbanks (above) 'I'm kind of sad to see her go in a way, but really happy she's going to be back with Laura', Carrick continued. Morgan Hall, a friend of Allaway's picked up Sarabi on Monday around 9pm and took her to a kennel where Allaway works in Fairbanks. 'We got her. We got her safe. She'll be home safe,' Hall told the Alaska Dispatch News on Monday night. 'That's all that matters.' On Facebook, Allaway wrote on Tuesday thanking everyone for their help in Sarabi's return back home to Fairbanks. Sarabi's only apparent injury was a porcupine quill under the eye which was removed following her capture (Daniel Carrick with the dog above) She wrote: 'The moment we have all been waiting for!! Sarabi is caught! She is safe and sound and will be back home in Fairbanks tomorrow!! 'I can not thank each and every one of you enough for everything you all have done! 'If it wasn't from the help of so many people she likely would still be roaming the streets! I'm so sooo happy she is safe and sound!' Sarabi appears to be at a healthy weight and her only apparent injury was a porcupine quill under the eye which Hall's husband removed following the dog's capture, according to Alaska Dispatch News. Allaway is looking forward to embracing Sarabi once they are reunited. She told Alaska Dispatch News: 'I'm going to hug her for ten minutes straight.'
