Landean requested that folks name the restoration heart data line with sightings, and never report the sightings on Facebook — or try and feed Luna themselves.
Landean’s religion in individuals was rewarded on Saturday morning. Luna was captured and, as soon as protected and safe, fell deeply asleep.
She was transported the final leg of the journey — from her place of seize in Bennington to her new home with Chenery in Maine — by Chenery’s mother-in-law.
