Dog saved from rising tide after being lured by sausage dangling from drone – video

Millie the jack russell-whippet became stranded on mudflats off the Hampshire coast and was in danger of being swept away by rising tides. Rescuers couldn't reach her by kayak so decided to see if they could lure her to higher ground. The Denmead Drone Search & Rescue team, who had helped in the search for Millie, came up with an ingenious idea, attaching a sausage to a drone in the hope the scent would lure her to safety. It worked perfectly as Millie followed the sausage to higher ground and has now been reunited with her owner
