Event Summary

Chesney the kangaroo escaped from Sunshine Farm in Necedah, Wisconsin, after being spooked by stray dogs. He was on the lam for three days, prompting a search by his keeper, Debbie Marland, and community volunteers, who used heat-seeking drones. Chesney was eventually found and safely returned to the farm. Marland hopes to publish a children's book about Chesney's adventure to recoup search costs.
