Dog gets itself into a bit of a pickle

Most dogs are happy to be tied to the railings while they're waiting for their owners, but this pooch from Yueyang, Hunan province, southern China, had to go one better.

Baffled Park Ting, 38, spotted the trapped mutt trying to wriggle through the gates and soon realised it was stuck fast.



"It had got its hips stuck going forward, so then it tried to go backwards through another gap but that just made it worse. By the time I got to it, the poor thing couldn't move an inch," said Park.

Locals gradually managed to inch the dog backwards and forwards until he was free. "He looked a bit sorry for himself but was fine otherwise," added Park.
