''Animal rescuers in England helped lure a lost dog to safety by hanging a sausage from a drone to prevent her from drowning in marshland.''

''Millie the dog went missing on Thursday, Jan. 13, after slipping out of her collar while out on a walk in Hampshire, southern England.''
''The Jack Russell-whippet cross was eventually spotted on the mudflats, and in danger of being engulfed by the rising tide.''

''By the third day, faced with the possibility of the pup drowning from the incoming tide, a drone pilot who helped locate the runaway dog suggested they try tying food on string from the small aircrafts to lure her to safety.''

“She was very hungry and got hold of it at one point — and almost took the drone with her, she got about half a sausage,” DDSAR volunteer Stefani Dennis told CNN .''
