A 30lb dog rescued from a storm drain in the US state of Maryland had been missing for over a year, officials said.

A 30lb dog rescued from a storm drain in the US state of Maryland had been missing for over a year, officials said.

Rescue crews got the dog out of the drain on Friday after a man walking his own dog spotted the other pup in the storm drain.

It took crews two hours to get the Wheaten Terrier out of the drain.

The one-year-old dog named Cookie had reportedly been missing since October 2014.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Pete Piringer added the dog’s owner has been located and will pick the dog up.
