Police dog missing since crash is found

TWIN FALLS (AP) - A Belgian Malinois K-9 missing for three days after a rollover crash in south-central Idaho has been found.

The Twin Falls County Sheriff's office said 17-month-old Drago was recovered Wednesday after a homeowner reported him sleeping in her yard.

Spokeswoman Lori Stewart said Deputy Stanton J. Wiggins went to the house with a retired K-9 named Flynn who lives at Wiggins' home with Drago.

Stewart said they were able to approach Drago and attach his leash. Drago looked OK but was being checked by a veterinarian.

Wiggins was injured in the crash on Sunday and required hand surgery after police said another vehicle failed to yield and pulled in front of Wiggins' patrol vehicle.

Idaho's pass rate for bar exams plummets

BOISE (AP) - Fewer Idaho lawyers participated and passed this year's most recent bar exam.

The Idaho Statesman reports that roughly 65 percent of the 126 test-takers passed the July exam. The pass rate is the lowest since 2002. However, the number of test-takers is just slightly lower than in years past.

Idaho is one seven states whose July bar exam scores dropped. July's exam is the first opportunity most law school graduates have to take the test.

Passing the test is required to practice law in Idaho.
