Connie the Container Dog was heard barking and scratching at the walls of a container at a port in the Houston-Galveston area by coast guard inspectors, who then had to get it lowered by a crane, before she "popped out!".
Sharing an update on social media, the USCG said: "When they lowered the container and opened the door, a dog popped out!
“The Coast Guard members gave her water and brought her to a local animal shelter for further care.”
US Coast Guard officials determined Connie, who was dirty and skinny when she was freed, had been trapped for at least eight days with no food or water.

FCAR says Connie weighs 30 pounds, which is slightly underweight, and has tested positive for heartworm, a serious disease among pets caused by a parasitic worm, and will need treatment.
The rescue group, which is based in Virginia, said Connie would be flown to Manassas airport on Tuesday, from where she will head straight to the vet for a full examination.
