Video: Dog that had been missing for more than 30 days is rescued from storm drain<\/p>\n

A dog that had been missing for more than a month was rescued from a California storm drain earlier this week and reunited with her family.<\/p>\n

According to a news release<\/a> from San Diego County Animal Services, officers found a dog trapped in a storm drain and used treats to coax her out to street level.<\/p>\n

After taking the dog to a nearby animal shelter, she was cleaned, fed, vaccinated and checked for a microchip.<\/p>\n

“Shelter staff said she appeared underweight, very hungry and had a dirty coat, suggesting she may have been lost for some time,” the release said.<\/p>\n

Later that day, a woman came to the shelter in search of her dog, Teddy, who had been missing for more than 30 days. <\/p>\n

“She said her family had been searching extensively \u2014 posting flyers, driving the neighborhood daily and working with local dog rescuers,” the release said.<\/p>\n

Shelter staff confirmed that the rescued dog was Teddy, but her reaction to seeing her family again also provided confirmation.<\/p>\n

“While Teddy was initially withdrawn, she became alert the moment she saw her owner, wagging her tail and howling with joy,” the release says.<\/p>\n
