Rescue Charity in England Uses a Drone and a Sausage to Save a Dog From Drowning

Officials say if Millie the dog wasn't rescued within a few hours, she would have likely drowned.

Animal rescuers in southern England helped lure a lost dog to safety in an unconventional way: by hanging a sausage from a drone to prevent her from drowning in marshland.

Denmead Drone Search & Rescue, a charity set up to find missing pets and people, says Millie had been missing for two days.

The sausage encouraged her to head to a safer place away from rising tides.

Officials say if Millie wasn't moved within a few hours, she would have likely drowned.

After the sausage drone rescue, Millie was still on the run. She was later spotted near a busy road, and was eventually reunited with her owner early last week.

Let’s hope Millie has learned her lesson to stay put.
