The adventurous hound was left trapped for around five hours on Tuesday before he was rescued by RSPCA officials and reunited with owners Glenice and Barry Clapperton.
Said Barry: "He's only about 15 months old and he's a bit mischievous but he doesn't normally do that kind of thing!
"We were a bit worried while he was up there because it was about 50ft up — but as soon as he was back down he was back running around again like nothing had happened."
RSPCA inspector Tina McAdams says the incident was a first for her and described how Bruce was rescued from the tree, off New Mill Lane.
"We got him down on all fours eventually with the help of a tree surgeon who came out to help," she said. "If I hadn't have seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it!"
