Key Points:
- Krakka, a four-year-old terrier, went missing near Shiptonthorpe, East Yorkshire, on April 30 and was found after being buried in a rabbit hole for two days.
- Owner Glynis Elgey enlisted Steve Priestman from Drone SAR for lost dogs UK to help search using a drone, but initial efforts did not locate the dog.
- The searchers shifted focus to less obvious areas and discovered Krakka buried under nettles after hearing her whimper.
- Rescue footage showed Krakka covered in dirt as she was carefully dug out, and she immediately showed affection upon being freed.
- Elgey expressed relief and joy at finding Krakka alive, noting the dog usually stays close and suspecting something had prevented her return.
