Firefighters rescued dog stuck up tree

Firefighters more used to rescuing cats were surprised to find a dog stuck up a tree. The curious collie dog called Sally was excited to find a fallen tree in a park in Twickenham on Friday and decided to scamper up it.

Unfortunately she wasn’t brave enough to climb down. Firefighters were called to rescue the dog, which was in Crane Park and managed to coax the frightened border collie down with the help of their nine metre ladder.



Watch manager Daniel Wareham from Twickenham fire station said: “The dog was very nervous and was relieved to get down after a bit of coaxing. She bolted to her owner with her tail wagging. Her elderly owner was really happy to get his best friend back.

“However, if you see an animal stuck somewhere we’d advise you to call the RSPCA, who will then call for our help if needed.” Five firefighters and officers were called to the park at 11:04am and Sally was brought down the tree at 11:39am.
