Officer Ryan McMahon and his team heard noise that seemed like barking and scratching coming from one of the containers stacked about 25 feet in the air
The team happened to be at the right place at the right time as the terminal had more than 10000 containers at the moment After using the crane to bring the container to the ground an unexpected creature popped out from the inside

The canine seemed extremely happy and not at all scared when she finally got out of the dark She rushed to her saviors and melted in their arms as if she was trying to thank them for this heroic mission

According to the officials the poor dog was trapped inside the container with junked cars for over a week with no food or water Even though its still vague how she ended up here the Coast Guard assumes she was in one of the cars
It was a true miracle that she was spotted after this long as shed probably not have made it if she had stayed there only a few days longer

Connie is a bit under weight and currently weighs 30lbs She is incredibly sweet but very shy and scared of her new surroundings as to be expected She is heartworm positive and we will be getting her started on treatment ASAP FCAR wrote on Facebook
