A Happy Ending – Harold is Back Home
This isn’t your typical cat-in-the-tree rescue story. SHAES firefighters and South Haven police officers, including the chiefs of both departments, on Tuesday, Aug.

23, rescued Harold the iguana from a tree. Harold caught the attention of residents of a house near South Haven Place and Bailey Avenue and called authorities. When police arrived Harold scampered up a tree so SHAES firefighters were summoned with their ladder truck. After several minutes of coaxing they were able to capture the two-foot-long lizard. As all this was going on the owner appeared at the scene to say she had lost her five-year-old iguana Harold about a month ago. The animal’s cage had apparently been left unlocked and off Harold went. It was a very emotional reunion between the owner, a South Haven school teacher, and an apparently healthy Harold who didn’t divulge where he had been the past month. A happy ending.
