Chained Welsh Bull Mastiff Saved From Strangulation by Fire Department
This would be a great article to share with a friend, neighbor, family member or just a passing acquaintance who still thinks chaining or long-term tethering of dogs is a good idea!
The article comes to us from the Ellesmere Port Standard in Wales.
Fire crews save choking dog
A PET dog which was slowly being strangled was rescued by firefighters armed with lifesaving equipment.
Tara, a bull mastiff, was choking to death on the end of a chain in a house on Chester Road, Ellesmere Port.The worried owner was unable to free his pet and called the fire service at about 9pm on Mopnday.
Ellesmere Port firefighter Claire Page said: She had got herself wound round and round the chain in the house.
We had to use the cutters we would normally use in a road traffic accident to cut through the chain. A couple of us held her head as the chain was cut and there was a bit of growling as she didnt know what we were trying to do.
Tare was soon freed and suffered and no long-term damage.
