A CURIOUS little puppy who found themselves stuck inside a food tin had to be cut free by firefighters.

Six-month-old French Bulldog Bo was taken into Basildon Fire Station at about 6.45pm on Friday by his concerned owner.

During the rescue crews reassured the dog before carefully using small tools to release its head from the tin. 

Thankfully, Bo was returned to his owner completely unharmed.

Echo:

Howard Midwood, watch manager at Basildon Fire Station, said: "Clearly, this wasn't a typical incident for our firefighters but when Bo and his owner arrived, we knew we'd be able to help.

"I'm really proud of our firefighters who have done a professional job tonight in releasing Bo quickly and safely. 

“We're pleased that Bo was able to get home without any scratches or grazes - but hope he doesn't try and treat himself to any more milk formula.”
