Kayak seeks rightful human.

On Friday, Durango Police officers located a recreational kayak that may have been stolen.

Unfortunately, the kayak did not bring ID and has been uncooperative during questioning, so we’re asking for the public’s help getting it back to its rightful owner.

To protect the ownership verification process, we are withholding specific identifying details. If this may be yours, please contact the Durango Police Department and be prepared to provide proof of ownership, such as the serial number, photos, purchase information, or details about when and where it went missing.

A rattlesnake bite is serious, but it is not automatically a death sentence. The key is to stay calm and get help fast.

If you or your dog is bitten, DO NOT:
• Try to suck out the venom
• Put ice on the bite
• Cut over the fang marks
• Use a tight band or tourniquet

Instead:
• Keep the person or dog calm and still
• Remove tight clothing, jewelry, collars, leashes, or harnesses near the bite area
• Keep the bite area clean
• Get to a veterinary office or hospital as soon as possible

For dogs, call your vet or an emergency vet right away and let them know you are coming in for a possible snake bite.

For people, seek medical care immediately.

Stay aware. Watch where you step. Watch where your dog sniffs. Give rattlesnakes space.
