Krakka escaped from home on April 30, near Shiptonthorpe, United Kingdom. She was four years old and had an energy that took her too far.
Her owner, Glynis Elgey, wasted no time: she called Steve Priestman, from the Drone SAR for Lost Dogs UK group, and for a day and a half the drones flew over fields and farms without results. Nothing. Not a trace. The search turned to the ground, and that was when Glynis’s partner heard something unexpected: a muffled whimper, almost buried, coming directly from the ground, all thanks to another dog that had become obsessed with a rabbit burrow and insisted on digging there.
Beneath the burrow, almost a meter underground, Krakka was trapped among thick roots that prevented her from moving. Only her nose and one paw were visible. Rescuers and family members dug by hand for 20 minutes, carefully avoiding hurting her, until they finally got her out. The first thing Krakka did was give Glynis a kiss, as if she understood that she was safe.
