The rescue team said the "sweet girl" was "tired, hungry, and very happy to see her rescuers."
A dog was rescued last week when a group of Coast Guard inspectors found it trapped in a shipping container at a Texas port. The dog, who has since been named Connie the container dog, was trapped in a shipping container for marine science technicians Bryan Wainscott, Lucas Loe, Ryan McMahon and Jose Reyes found her Wednesday at Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston, Coast Guard Heartland said on Facebook.
The USCG Heartland reported that as marine inspectors were randomly choosing containers for inspection, they detected barking and scratching from one of the containers in a stack. The group informed that the container was stacked about 25 feet in the air and had to be lowered by crane.
"When they lowered the container and opened the door, a dog popped out!" according to USCG Heartland.
