Published September 18, 2007 08:10 am - Zebra shows up at home in Ranger Creek area By Renee Fite Phoenix Staff Writer When Sharon McConough heard her dog barking like crazy, she thought she was dreaming when she looked outside.
Deer and raccoon regularly visit her Ranger Creek home east of Fort Gibson Dam, but she was shocked to see a zebra last Tuesday night. She ran to get her camera because she knew no one would believe her if she told them she saw a zebra in her yard. Bizzy, her large, white shepherd, barks sometimes, but he was really barking that night, so she knew something was wrong. “It was about midnight, and I’d just shut off my computer and I got up and went to look outside. It’s so weird, you can’t imagine what it’s like to look out a glass door and see a zebra trotting down the driveway.” She is sure he’s visited before because she’s found several clues. “The dog food was scattered everywhere, and the dog doesn’t do that. There were dog food pieces in the water bowl, and he doesn’t do that either.” McConough also noticed the cat food bowls look like a big tongue licked them clean. “Cat’s don’t do that, and the dog was in his pen.” She also had set up a plant mister that the dog can’t reach, and it was knocked down. Although she’s stayed up every night since, she hasn’t seen her striped visitor since his Tuesday visit. But she’s still on the watch and wonders how a zebra came to be running loose in her neighborhood. The zebra is wearing a halter, so it appears to be a pet.
