Firefighters in Fresno County in California responded to an emergency call from an animal lover about a puppy that had its head trapped in the center of a tire rim.
The rescue happened on Wednesday when the Cal Fire firefighters had to have a lot of patience to remove the head of the puppy out of the center of the tire rim.
The good news is that the puppy walked away after being rescued and was not harmed at all thanks to the efforts of the firefighters to free the animal from being stuck in the middle of a tire rim.

That's horrible and painful for puppy to remove it's head stuck at the center of the wheel rim. Anyway it's safe him now for he's rescued.
