When they lowered the container and opened the door, a dog ran out, according to a social media post.

The dog was trapped in the container for at least a week and was very tired and hungry but happy to see her rescuers.

“Connie the Container Dog” was taken to a local animal shelter where she received care and was put up for adoption.
