The hapless young dog found himself with his head firmly stuck inside the long tube of an old smudge pot. Animal rescuers from Riverside County Animal Services believe that he had been chasing a mouse when the pesky rodent led him straight into an abandoned device.

Smokey emerged unscathed from the pot with the help of Animal Control Officer Amy Farrell who gently eased him out.

 This silly cow found herself stuck for days below street level after falling into a drain in Kaysville, Utah. The animal appeared to have wondered into a culvert and got stuck in the narrow drainage system. She was only found after local Holden Holt heard strange noises during a leisurely walk. Animal Control officers were called to the spot but the cow’s escape wasn’t so easy, a whole crew had to be called in to dig up part of the street while a tractor eventually pulled the cow out after at least five days in agony.
