Heartwarming rescue: Firefighters save this puppy from furniture mishap!

Decorating a home is a fun experience—homeowners get to experiment, mix, and match items from different shops until they all come together into a comfortable abode.

However, one humble home item led to a rather paw-zzling predicament for a homeowner and their pet.


One Saturday night, a 14-week-old husky pup named Ace was trapped in a trendy Marquee Black Verna chair from Bunnings.

The incident unfolded in Queanbeyan, where the playful pup was in a precarious situation.

Ace's curiosity led him to explore the small hole at the bottom of the chair, typically concealed by a cushion.

Before long, he was entangled in the chair's metal spokes, prompting an emergency call to Fire and Rescue NSW.

The Queanbeyan fire crew arrived on the scene, equipped with 'hydraulic cutting tools' to navigate the intricate web of woven metal and plastic.

With precision and care, they worked to free the distressed puppy, ensuring they did not cause him any harm.

The rescue operation was a success, and Ace emerged from his ordeal unscathed.


The husky pup, still curious, inspected the crew's rescue equipment, perhaps searching for his next adventure.

Fire and Rescue NSW shared footage of the relieved pup enjoying the affection of the fire crew, who were more than happy to provide cuddles and pats after such a tense rescue.

The Marquee Verna Chair, while a popular choice for Aussie backyards, has been involved in two puppy rescue operations.

Just last year, another young pup named Mia found herself in a similar bind, requiring the assistance of Fire and Rescue officers and the local volunteer rescue association to be freed from a giant cable spool.

These incidents remind us of the unexpected hazards that household items can pose to our furry friends.


Pet owners need to be vigilant and puppy-proof their homes to prevent such occurrences.

However, it's comforting to know that dedicated rescue teams are ready to respond with compassion and skill when accidents happen.

Sometime ago, another pup found herself in a predicament as Teale, a labrador pup got stuck in a vent of a tumble dryer.

Rescuers immediately came to Teale and her owners' rescue, and served as a reminder for pet owners of the possible hazards our furry pals may face at home.

The chair, retailing for just $39 at Bunnings, continues to be a hit with nearly 100 reviews online.

They testify to the store's commitment to providing Australians with affordable and stylish outdoor furniture.

But perhaps a little cautionary tale is now woven into their design narrative, reminding us to keep an eye on our adventurous pets.
