The bowl stuck on her head was preventing her from eating or drinking, photos show. This prompted rescuers to take more serious action — equipping themselves with traps and drones to keep eyes on the dog with the hope of getting her to a vet, officials said.

The dog was first spotted in Manvel, Texas in Brazoria County on Tuesday. There, police shared a photo of the animal, later determined to be a lab mix, and asked members of the public for help with locating the creature. It’s not clear how long the animal had been missing - but had one distinctive feature as its head was stuck inside a bowl.
