Footage captures rescue of dog who caused eight motorway closures

The trap used to capture Spaniel Phoebe can be seen with the motorway in the background. Release date October 24 2024. Footage shows the moment a missing dog was finally rescued- after she caused eight motorway closures in just over a week. Nicola Patterson, 33, received a call while on a trip to Majorca with her husband and two young children to say that her beloved dog Phoebe had gone missing. The Welsh Springer Spaniel was being looked after by a friend in Bean, near Dartford, when she knocked the latch on the back gate and escaped from their garden. After getting the dreaded news, the owner immediately booked a flight for her and her seven-month-old baby.
