HOUSTON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- A Houston-area family rescued a 5-month-old puppy last week, after it spent two months running around the neighborhood with a plastic jug on his head.

"Every night I went to bed thinking about that dog and I really felt bad for him having that on his head," Audra Bohannon, of Northwest Harris County, Texas, told KPRC on Monday.

Bohannon said the stray, thought to be a German Shepard mix, probably stuck his head into a plastic pet feeder in her barn. She and her family spent weeks trying to catch him.

When they finally did, Bohannon and her family cut the jug open with metal shears. She posted video of his rescue on her Facebook page.

Bohannon, who says her brother's family plans to adopt the puppy, named him Bucket. She wrote later on Facebook that Bucket is "so happy."

"It's amazing how this dog had a Bucket on his head for two months and now he's playing like any other dog," she wrote.
