Dog saved after falling down the rabbit hole.
A fire and rescue service helped to save a dog after it became stuck in a rabbit hole in Staffordshire.
Firefighters of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to Woodford Lane, Trysull at around 5:30pm last Monday to reports of a trapped dog.
Fire crews from Cannock and Wombourne worked alongside Cannock Unimog (Animal Rescue Unit) to retrieve Cheddar, the puppy, who had became lodged after falling into the rabbit hole.
Sarah Coulson, one of Cheddar's owners, said: "We would like to express our thanks to the firefighters for the efforts they put in to help retrieve Cheddar. The crews showed amazing commitment throughout and I can't begin to thank them enough."
The crews spent six hours digging holes around the grounds hoping to find the puppy, but even after digging the holes, there was still no signs of Cheddar.
With growing concerns about the dog, the family returned at 6am Tuesday morning to find cheddar standing by one of the holes dug up by the fire crews.
Station Manager Leigh Richards, said: "Crews worked extremely hard, and it was very pleasing to see Cheddar was okay.
"It's always relieving when you are able to have such a positive outcome and to see a pet reunited with their owners, especially when they are unscathed."
