Inquisitive puppy freed from wheel by firefighters

Firefighters in Bakersfield, California, rescued a pit bull puppy from a tight spot on Friday.



The puppy had its head stuck through the hub of a wheel when its owner took it to a Kern County fire station.

Fire Department spokesman Brandon Hill says two firefighters used "cooking oil and creative ingenuity" to ease the dog's head out of the hole.



The little pooch, named Junior later returned home with its owner and was reunited with its seven siblings.
