Fife Council has confirmed that the area in Pittencrieff Park has now been made safe while checks for any other danger points around the Glen have also been taking place.
Working Cocker Spaniel Maizi disappeared after falling down a bank in Pittencrieff Park on Tuesday afternoon while on a walk with owner Margaret Cumming.
After around an hour of searching, her husband Garry heard the faint bells on the collar of their pooch, who is deaf, down an uncovered sewer at the Glen and contacted the emergency services.

“She was trapped in a sewer down the bottom which doesn’t have any drain cover,” she said. “I am pleased to say it was not a two year-old toddler.
“It was horrifically overwhelming. There should have been a grate covering the sewer.”
Following the incident, Fife Council Grounds Maintenance Service Manager, Scott Clelland, said: “We’ve secured the historic drain opening at Pittencrieff Park.
“We’re inspecting the area and if there’s any other gullies that could pose a risk, we’ll make sure that they’re secured quickly.”
