It is not an uncommon sight to find dogs and pups getting themselves into various comical situations. This time, a little black and white puppy fell into trouble when she stuck her head into the wheel of a tyre.
Breaking news: we are doing all we can to assist this pup. She got herself stuck in this spare tire in #Coachella. We oiled her up, but her neck is swollen. She is now sedated — and our friends with fire department en route. #WheeliePup #RivCoNOW #PuppyPredicament pic.twitter.com/8LB2dlFvtN

Scared that he might do more damage than good if he tried to pull out the puppy, he immediately called in the Animal rescue. On arrival, the firemen initially tried to lubricate the neck with oil and remove it. However, the growing swelling around his neck was of concern.
Rescued! Thank you to our comrades @CALFIRERRU #WheeliePup #RivCoNow pic.twitter.com/8TuZ5EoMe4

Based on the assessment of the firemen of California, Riverside County took her along with the tire to the Fire Department. After calming her down with treats and lots of attention, they sedated her to help cut through the wheels without harming her.
Once freed, the puppy was kept overnight at the Fire Department for observation until the arrival of the rightful owners. The entire episode was captured in a video and posted online by the Riverside Animal rescue.
The extreme cautious attitude and gentle handling of the pup by the firemen did not go unnoticed by animal lovers worldwide and thus resulting in the video going viral all over the world. Many even quoted saying, “Amidst all the animal cruelty, there is still hope because of firemen like that of Riverside Fire Department.”
