Meet the chocolate Labrador behind the arrest of Pennsylvania fugitive Michael Burham.
"Usually if I call him he comes right back to the house," Ron Ecklund described to ABC News. "He wouldn't, so I said, 'Cindy, let's get on the golf cart.'"
"Suddenly, this person stands up, and it's Michael - I recognize him right away," Ron Ecklund said, noticing Burham's tattoos, which had been featured in recent news reports. A fan of tennis balls and birds, Tucker generally loves people, though "he knew something was going on" when he discovered Burham, according to Cindy Ecklund."I thought he was gone. I never thought he was in the backyard," Ron Ecklund said in an interview with ABC affiliate WJET.
For their role in the arrest, Crime Stoppers plans to award the couple and their loyal chocolate Labrador mix $2,000 in cash, according to Warren County District Attorney Rob Greene.
