SEBASTOPOL — The wolf hybrid spotted Sunday on the outskirts of Sebastopol is actually a pet named Shadow and has been reunited with its owner.

North Bay Animal Services said on social media Monday morning that Shadow was caught and reunited with his family and pack members, that are named Max and Sky.
