Stray Dog With Cheese Ball Bucket Stuck On Her Head Gets Amazing Drone Rescue In Pennsylvania
You know how dogs always find a way to get into a little mischief? Well, one curious pup in Pennsylvania took that to a whole new level, and her story might just be one of the wildest (and sweetest) rescues you’ll hear all week.
Somewhere out in the countryside, a little stray dog wandered off looking for food. But instead of finding a snack, she ended up with her head trapped inside a cheese ball bucket.
Yep, one of those big, plastic tubs you can buy in bulk. Poor thing must’ve been terrified.
For days, she roamed around with that thing stuck on her head. She couldn’t eat, couldn’t drink, couldn’t even see properly.
It’s heartbreaking, and honestly, it’s a miracle she made it as long as she did.
But somehow, she kept going. And thankfully, her struggle didn’t go unnoticed. People started spotting her wandering through fields, and soon Canine Rescue of Central PA stepped in to help.
The team tried everything, but she was so scared that every time they got close, she’d take off again into the tall grass.
That’s when things got high-tech. Two drone pilots joined the rescue, using heat-sensing cameras to search the massive open fields, hoping to catch a glimpse of that little orange bucket.
Finally, early one morning, the drone camera picked up a heat signature deep inside a cornfield. The rescuers rushed in, and there she was.
Exhausted. Dehydrated. But still holding on.
When they carefully pulled the bucket off her head, it must’ve felt like the world opened up again: fresh air, sunlight, freedom. She was safe at last.
They named her Dallas Cheddar, Dallas after one of the drone pilots who found her, and Cheddar after the snack that got her into trouble in the first place.
The rescue wrote on Facebook:
“With the help of a massive community search effort and two drone pilots, Dallas was finally found after two days and given urgent medical attention for dehydration and ticks. Fortunately, Dallas, named after one of her drone pilot rescuers, is now on the road to recovery in a foster home.”
Despite everything she’d been through, Dallas was calm, gentle, and trusting. It’s amazing how dogs can forgive the world so easily, how they somehow still choose love after all that pain.
And then, as if the story couldn’t get any sweeter, her foster parents, Katie and Alex, fell completely in love with her.
What was supposed to be a short stay turned into forever.
Now, Dallas Cheddar spends her days snuggling with her new sister Rue (also a rescue), and soaking up all the love she deserves.
The Canine Rescue shared in the update:
“Dallas has come a long way since being rescued from a cornfield with a jar stuck on her head after several days of searching. Now, she’s settling into her new life with her family and CRCPA alumni sister, Rue. We couldn’t be happier for this sweet girl!”
From struggling alone in a cornfield to sleeping soundly in a warm home, Dallas Cheddar’s story shows that sometimes it only takes a few kind hearts and a couple of drones to change a life forever.
