In Show Low, Arizona, a miniature dachshund needed the help of experts after his careless shenanigans found him in a precarious situation. The little guy, in his pursuit to reach that very last treat in the jar, just didn’t work out as planned.
The Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District had an unusual visitor on Monday morning. A community member brought the miniature dachshund to the station. Uh oh – the pintsized pooch’s head had been stuck in the plastic container.
Fortunately, the crew on A-17 were able to safely remove the container and free the pup without any injuries.
He walked away just fine, although his dignity may have taken a small hit.
