Firefighters come to the rescue of a 'cheeky' labrador pup

Learning curves are a part of life, especially for a curious and playful creature like a puppy.

Equipped with bounding energy and insatiable curiosity, puppies are known for their knack for getting into the unlikeliest of situations.



Firefighters have rescued not only countless kittens from trees but even managed to save a puppy who had managed to wedge himself under a recliner just last month.

One four-month-old Labrador, Teale, found herself in an extraordinary predicament and provided us with an amusing tale, tagging some brave firefighters along for the ridenarrative.

Teale, the Labrador who is just entering her 'mischievous' stage, managed to get herself firmly wedged after inserting her head into an extractor vent of a tumble dryer.



Her body was in one room, her neck stretched through the wall via the vent, and her face making a surprise appearance on the other side—like a very one-sided game of peek-a-boo.

Rapidly responding to the call of the troubled pet owners, firefighters quickly arrived to save the day.

Teale was eventually freed without harm, thanks to their expert use of small tools and diligent care.

It's a testament to their training and adaptability, showcasing their determination to handle whatever predicament comes their way.

Once freed, the little Labrador was said to be 'feeling very sorry for herself' but made sure to thank her rescuers in the most canine way possible, rewarding the firefighters with lots of snuggles and licks.

Their tireless efforts drew rich applause from the local community, with the 'mischievous' pup earning herself quite the reputation.

Sharon Young, one neighbour, even humorously commented, 'Aw bless her but talk about being caught in the act.'

Key Takeaways
  • A four-month-old Labrador puppy named Teale ended up with her head stuck in an extractor vent of a tumble dryer.
  • Teale's owners called emergency services for help, who successfully freed the puppy.
  • The puppy was unharmed by the incident and showered the firefighters with cuddles and licks as a sign of appreciation.
  • Residents praised the efforts of the firefighters while humorously commenting on the puppy's predicament.

Whilst we're wiping away our tears of laughter, picturing this cute Labrador, this incident serves as a timely reminder for all pet owners.



Teale's spin on 'a pup between a wall and a hard place' draws attention to how crucial it is to be vigilant about potential hazards in your home.

To 'puppy-proof' a house, it's essential to eliminate any small holes or spaces a curious snout might explore. Common household items like loose wires, small objects, and even certain plants can pose potential risks to our inquisitive furry family members.

The wonderful world of acquiring a new puppy also means expecting the unexpected. They indeed have strange ways to keep us on our toes, or should we say paws?

Do you have any funny tales about your own pets? We would love to hear about the humorous escapades that have brought joy to your life. Feel free to share your pet stories with us!

I don’t think it would cross my mind to call the fire brigade for a dog being stuck somewhere in the house. However, when my son was three he put his head through the railings of a friend’s verandah and couldn‘t get it out again. The fire brigade were doing some training nearby so they came over and did the job! I was a bit panicky, but my son just very calmly waited to be freed.

Not funny but we had nightmare of a stallion staying with us many years ago. Stupid horse kicked a lot for no reason and one day bucked and kicked high bending the stable bars and getting his leg trapped. The fire brigade came quickly and using their jaws of life tool freed his leg which amazingly wasn’t broken just grazed. They were great. V helpful and friendly.
