Owner Glynis Elgey found the four-year-old dog near Shiptonthorpe, East Yorkshire, on 2 May after searches including help from Drone SAR for lost dogs UK.
Krakka was discovered partially buried in mud in a nettle-covered warren after Elgey's partner heard a whimper and the group dug until only a paw was visible.
Elgey said she feared she would never see Krakka again, but the terrier appeared unfazed after the rescue and was soon seen going into another rabbit hole.
A thermal drone failed but a faint whimper saved her. What does this rescue reveal about the limits of our technology?
