Dog in Thailand gets head trapped in wheel, was stuck for hours
On Tuesday (1 April), rescuers from welfare foundations in Prachinburi, Thailand sprang into action after receiving a distress call about a dog trapped in a car wheel rim in Nong Man Pla Village, Si Maha Phot District.
Rushing to the scene, the team from Ruamkatanyu and Sawang Bamphen Thammasathan Foundation found the canine with its head tightly wedged in the metal rim.
The prolonged ordeal had left the dog weak, with visible swelling and bruising under its chin.
Using a grinder, the rescuers carefully cut through the rim in a painstaking 30-minute operation.
Finally, they freed the dog, sparking cheers of relief from onlookers.
