A puppy was rescued from a ditch that was covered in thick brambles five days after she vanished–thanks to a heat-seeking drone.

Six-month-old cocker spaniel Bow got lost while on a walk with her owner Jodie Dance, who hunted for hours on February 19 but was forced to abandon the search when it got dark.

The following day, she posted a Facebook appeal asking people to keep an eye out for her dog near the place where she disappeared in Warwickshire England.

Five days later a jogger in Burton Dassett Country Park overheard barking coming from a bramble-filled railway embankment about a mile away from the park and raised the alarm.

Drone search and recovery operator John Watton, with Drone Search And Rescue For Lost Dogs in the UK, used a thermal image camera to locate the animal inside the thicket.

“A dog was barking, but the jogger could not see it. We were called and I flew the drone to the location. Within a few minutes I picked up a heat signature.

“It was literally about 6-feet inside brambles but I got a heat signature of a fox-type size.”

Footage from Sunday’s rescue shows Jodie and her friends hacking down the thick brambles with hedge trimmers before hauling Bow to safety.

“Just the reaction from the owner was unbelievable. She was completely in tears,” said the 50-year-old drone operator.

“To be honest I was nearly blubbering.”

Jodie took Bow and Bella on a country run when both of them ran off.

“They are only pups but they love running so I took them to Burton Dassett and let them off the lead. The two were enjoying themselves on the hill but soon both vanished and only Bella returned.

“Drone SAR were just brilliant.

“It’s a miracle she was found and it wouldn’t have happened without the thermal drone.”
