You never know where you’ll find an animal in need of help, and it’s always inspiring to see people go out of their way to save the day.
That was the case recently, when four Coast Guard officers were shocked to discover a dog trapped in a shipping container and came to the rescue.
On January 31, a team of marine inspectors from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston were on duty, randomly selecting shipping containers for inspection, according to a Facebook post from U.S. Coast Guard Heartland.
They were randomly choosing from thousands of containers — but suddenly, they noticed an unusual sound coming from a container 25 feet up.
“It’s scratching, dude!” one officer is heard saying in a TikTok video. They could also hear barking, and realized there was a live dog trapped in the unit.
