Neighbors heard Teddy barking in a storm drain, and County Animal Services officers used treats to lift the 7-year-old maltipoo out.
- On Monday, a 7-year-old maltipoo named Teddy was rescued from a storm drain in Spring Valley, California, after neighbors heard barking near Felicita Avenue and alerted County Animal Services.
- Teddy disappeared on July 23 after a side gate was left unlocked while being repaired. Daniela Chavez's family conducted an exhaustive search, posting flyers throughout the area.
- County Animal Services Officer Britney Myers and her team of three performed the rescue using safety straps. "My lieutenant hung onto me, so I could drop down into the hole," Myers said, coaxing Teddy with treats.
- Shortly after, Chavez and her mother were reunited with Teddy. Chavez said "just bawled my eyes out like crazy," noting Teddy was skinny with paw injuries being treated with ointment and protective socks.
- Chavez had nearly lost hope when Teddy was found just blocks from home. She noted that Teddy has begun wagging her tail again, signaling recovery after being missing more than 30 days.
