  • Fire and Rescue NSW saved a Husky puppy stuck in a chair in Queanbeyan.
  • FRNSW crew used hydraulic cutting tools for the puppy's safe rescue.
  • The curious puppy, Ace, quickly inspected the FRNSW rescue equipment post-rescue.

A Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crew was faced with an usual challenge at Queanbeyan, near Canberra, at the weekend – a Husky puppy whose head became stuck in a chair. The emergency unfolded at a home in Crawford Street, just before 8.30 on Saturday night, when 14-week-old ‘Ace’ became entangled in the chair’s metal spokes.

The Queanbeyan fire crew used hydraulic cutting tools to carefully cut ‘Ace’ free. Still curious, the puppy was quick to assess the crew’s rescue equipment, all the time hoping he hadn’t been too much of a pain in the neck.
