A dog has been rescued from a tight spot by Queensland firefighters armed with a bottle of olive oil and a lot of patience.

The puppy, named Bonnie, stuck its head through the middle of a wheel rim but couldn’t pull itself back out.
It was up to the firefighters at Mareeba Fire and Rescue to figure out a solution to the sticky situation.

“We hear she’s recovering well.”
