It’s not known how this poor stray dog from Indianapolis got her head stuck in the rim of an old car tire, but it was certainly tough to get her out. It took a team of firefighters with rescue equipment to get her out; though she may have got more than she bargained for in the end—indeed the lucky dog found a new forever home with one of her rescuers.

When Indianapolis resident Jessica Arnold, 20, came home after work on the evening of July 17, 2015, she found a stray dog stuck inside a car tire rim, “which sits as junk on a neighboring property,” unable to free herself. Arnold alerted Station 5 Firefighters of the situation in the hopes they would be able to get the poor pooch out.
