A dog that was reported missing over a year ago has been found alive in a drain pipe in Maryland and returned to a shelter.<\/p>\n

The Wheaton Terrier known both as Cookie and Mai Tai had only recently been rescued from the dog-meat trade in Thailand when he went missing in his new country in October 2014.<\/p>\n

It took three hours for firefighters and animal services to successfully rescue the 30-pound dog, who was so scared he could not even be lured out of the pipe with food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0It was another dog who brought help people find trapped Cookie.<\/div>\n

New York City resident Nick An was walking one of his relative’s Great Dane during a visit in Bethesda when the dog pulled him toward the storm drain and began to bark.<\/p>\n

‘I went over and I just saw a dog in there,’ An told WJLA<\/a><\/p>\n

Cookie was dirty but found to be in good health and was not malnourished when he was rescued.<\/p>\n

Cookie was first found by this Great Dane.<\/p>\n

The dog was also still wearing his collar and tags from when he was lost in Kensington in 2014.<\/p>\n

Firefighters were able to nudge Cookie by duct taping a large ball of towels to a fire hose and slowly pushing it into one side of the pipe and thus forcing him out of the other.<\/p>\n

The shelter said Cookie was turned over ‘for his safety’ and that the dog has since been moved to a foster home while a permanent placement is searched for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
