The couch could not be moved without further hurting the pup, so firefighters got to work.

For about 30 minutes, they used many tools to disassemble the metal parts of the couch. Finally, they were able to get the dog’s leg free.

It was taken to the vet for a cut. The whole thing took about 45 minutes.
