Curious dog pokes head in tree and gets stuck, NH rescuers say. ‘Not a common thing’
A dog was rescued after poking its head in a tree and getting stuck, a New Hampshire fire department said.
The fire department found the trapped dog behind a Boys and Girls Club in Mildford on Friday, April 28, the Milford Fire Department said in a May 1 Facebook post.
“We’ve had animals in ponds and stuff, but this is the first time we’ve had to pull a dog out of a tree,” Milford Fire Assistant Chief Mark Britton told WMUR-TV. “Not a common thing at all.”
Photos posted by the fire department show the leashed dog stuck in a shallow hole at the base of a large tree trunk with rescuers surrounding.
The fire department used hand tools to cut the wood around the dog, WMUR-TV reported.
“After a short time the dog was removed without injury,” the fire department said.
Mildford is about 20 miles southwest of Manchester.
