group of family and friends spent two months trying to catch a stray dog near their home in Northwest Harris County. The puppy, believed to be a 5-month-old German Shepherd mix, was often seen running around their property with a plastic jug on his head.
A stray puppy with a plastic jug stuck on his head has been rescued -- and freed from his headpiece.
A Houston-area family says they saw the dog around the property for weeks. The jug, which was open on both ends, was part of a pet feeder in Audra Bohannon's barn. She believes the dog they call Bucky, short for bucket, got stuck while seeking food.
KPRC-TV reported Bohannon planned to take the pup to a veterinarian Tuesday to see if the German shepherd mix has an identifying microchip.
Bohannon said she saw the dog around her property but could never catch the pooch -- until a few days ago. The dog was captured and the jug cut off in a videotaped rescue.
Bohannon's relatives hope to adopt Bucky.
