It’s a good thing a dog discovered
trapped in a shipping container at the Port of Houston
kept hounding her rescuers. The move may have saved her life!
Connie the Container Dog is now safe and sound, but her week didn’t start that way.
Lucas Loe, one of the Guardsmen who saved her, shared video of her discovery.
On Wednesday, a team of marine inspectors from the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston heard barking and scratching coming from one of the containers in the stack.
“Oh, it’s scratching dude!” One of them yelled in the video.
Connie was the Culprit.
When MST3 Bryan Wainscott, MST1 Loe, MST2 Ryan McMahon and MST3 Jose Reyes opened the door of the container, the dog poked her head out.
Connie had been trapped in a container 25 feet off the ground, or about four containers high, for at least a week, Loe said, adding that particular container had been at the facility for eight days.
She was inside the metal box with old vehicles scheduled to be shipped overseas, according to officials.
