The plane had to abort its initial attempt and circle around before it could land at Juneau International Airport.
Deputy airport manager Patty deLaBruere told KINY-AM that Flight 64 from Anchorage was arriving Sunday afternoon when two black Labrador retrievers were spotted on the runway.
Chava Lee of the Gastineau Humane Society said an animal control officer caught one of the dogs. Another dog matching the description was found in the area, but officials weren't sure if it was the right dog.
KINY reported the owner of the dog caught on the runway is out of town, and the animal was in someone else's care. Lee said the dog's owner will be cited.
