Terrier is a break-out star on social media after absconding from the second-story window of his guardian’s house

There are escape artists, and then there is the elusive dog from New Orleans known as Scrim.

A local pet-adoption service owner rescued the terrier from a dog pound where he faced the possibility of euthanasia – but Scrim then fled the home of a family that adopted him and spent about six months on the run before an elaborate effort to capture him succeeded in October, according to media outlets, including Nola.com.
