Firefighters performed an unusual rescue operation today when they helped a dog with a trapped head in Knaresborough.

On-call firefighters from the town were summoned to Manse Lane at 2.21pm.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said:

"A crew from Knaresborough responded to a report of a dog that had got its head stuck between bars in the boot of a car.
"Crews coaxed the dog’s head out from the bars using washing up liquid and left the dog in the care of its owners."
