Freeport -
His name is LL Bean and thanks to the power of television, the homeless dog from Eisconsin has a new home. In, you guessed it, Freeport.
The Dunn County Humane Society in Wisconsin got a call from an worker at Bean's Freeport headquarters, after a local televison station ran a story featuring an 80 pound coonhound named LL Bean.
It had been in the shelter for more than a year.
The story of the dog was linked on Bean's company intranet site.
A worker offered to adopt him.
Other employees offered to donate the $800 needed to bring LL Bean to Maine.
He's expected to arrive early next month.
