Dexxy, a persistent gray seal pup that caused a stir when it was found wandering Cape Elizabeth streets on a snowy January night, returned to the chilly waters of Casco Bay on Thursday morning. Marine Mammals of Maine released Dexxy and Sunshine, another gray seal pup that was stranded in Cape Elizabeth in January, at Head Beach in Phippsburg, where about 100 people had gathered to watch from a distance. Both seals were exhausted and malnourished when they were rescued. They spent the last several weeks fattening up at the marine rehabilitation facility in Brunswick.
