The dog found herself in a rather complicated situation, but with the assistance of “a lot of olive oil and patience,” she was eventually freed.
The rescue operation took place in Mareeba, Queensland, with the help of local heroes from the fire and rescue team, a dedicated veterinarian, and a vet nurse from Sundance Veterinary Services. Together, they were called to a property just west of Cairns earlier this week to rescue Bonnie from an unusual entanglementβa tire.
Bonnie, the adventurous dog, had managed to get her head firmly stuck in the small, round center bore of a wheel rim. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services shared a lighthearted post on social media, shedding some light on the rather challenging extraction process.
Describing the situation, the post playfully mentioned, “This canine got herself into a wheely difficult position, but fortunately, no task is too tyre-some for our crews.” They couldn’t resist the puns and continued, “Mareeba fire and rescue was there to assist Sundance Veterinary Services in freeing little Bonnie after she was found feeling a bit deflated with her head stuck in the middle of a wheel rim.”
The teams used a combination of olive oil and patience to carefully remove Bonnie from her unintended confinement. The post also mentioned that Bonnie was recovering well and doing fine.
The accompanying images showed the rescue team, veterinary professionals, and Bonnie’s owner, all appearing relieved and perhaps amused by Bonnie’s adventurous escapade.
As expected, the post quickly gained attention online, with an outpouring of praise for the rural fire and rescue team for their dedication to ensuring Bonnie’s safety and well-being.
