Queanbeyan firefighters were faced with an unusual challenge over the weekend when a playful Husky puppy got its head stuck in a chair.

The emergency unfolded at a home in Crawford Street, just before 8:30 on Saturday night, when 14-week-old ‘Ace’ became entangled in the spokes of a round metal-framed chair.

The Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) crew had to use hydraulic tools to carefully cut Ace’s head free.

The puppy was apparently keen to sniff out the rescue equipment afterwards, with FRNSW saying in a statement “all the time hoping he hadn’t been too much of a ‘pain in the neck’.”
