Valerie, the miniature dachshund missing for more than 500 days on Kangaroo Island in South Australia , has been filmed sniffing around a trap this week. Kangala Wildlife Rescue, the organisation leading the search for the pooch, posted footage on Monday, 14 April, showing Valerie on a visit to the trap site. The rescue set up the site with toys and her bed from home.

They hope, after tests and modifications, they will be able to use a remote trigger system for the trap to secure Valerie safely. However, a rescue has not yet been possible due to the abundance of wildlife and Valerie’s constantly changing schedule, the group said..
