though the facilities also attracted possums.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Incredibly grateful&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, she was lured into the crate by the scent from torn-up strips of a shirt worn by her owner Georgia, Kangala directors Jared and Lisa Karran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kangalarescue\/videos\/667885656107219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said in a video update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was rummaging around, finding little food stashes all over the place. Then she went right to the back corner, which is where we wanted her,&#8221; said Jared Karran.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I pressed the button and, thankfully, it all worked perfectly: the remote dropped the door and that was all secured.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the four-legged escape artist became used to her new surroundings, Lisa Karran got in the crate to be with her.<\/p>\n<p>But she entered from the top to avoid opening a side door.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No way we were letting that sausage dog run away on us again,&#8221; Jared said.<\/p>\n<p>On her return to civilization, Valerie was treated to dog food and her favorite, roast chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Sizing up the adventurer, Jared said she was surprisingly small.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that she looks quite big on the camera. When I saw her in real life, she is tiny. She&#8217;s got, like, an inch clearance under her belly, tiny little legs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite their modest dimensions, dachshunds are &#8220;game for anything&#8221;, according to the American Kennel Club.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bred to be an independent hunter of dangerous prey, they can be brave to the point of rashness, and a bit stubborn,&#8221; it says.<\/p>\n<p>Valerie&#8217;s owner Gardner said in a social media post that she was &#8220;incredibly grateful&#8221; to the volunteers who helped find her dog.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For anyone who&#8217;s ever lost a pet, your feelings are valid
