Knaresborough's 'dog whisperer' firefighter rescues Terrier stuck in tree
dog rescue April 13 2024
Knaresborough firefighters rescued a dog that got stuck in the bottom of a tree today (April 13).
A three-year-old Patterdale Terrier called Pip became interested in something in a gap at the base of the tree and could not get out, according to a post on the fire station's Facebook page.
On call firefighters from Knaresborough were summoned to Hunsingore, a village seven miles from the town, to help at 3.13pm.
The post said:
"Crew used small tools and axes, while crew manager Mark Wilson used his dog whispering skills to coax the dog out with treats and a bit of gentle persuasion."
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said Pip was stuck in tree roots.
