little imagination and a flying sausage helped bring a British dog back from a dangerous predicament. At the center of all the excitement was Millie, a Jack Russell-whippet mix who had wandered out onto the mudflats in Havant, Hampshire, and had no interest in any suggestions she come back. Millie could not stay where she was because the tide would come in and potentially drown her, but rescuers could not reach her. “One of the local residents on the beach where we were flying from supplied us with the sausages,” Taylor said. “The woman cooked them up for us and we attached them with string.” As the drone approached, Millie eyed the sausage -- and followed it to higher ground. “If we hadn’t had got her away from that area the tide would have come in and she would have been at risk of drowning,” Taylor said. “It was something we had never tried before – the sausages were the last resort, as we couldn’t reach her by kayak or any other means.”
