Dog chasing cat got head stuck in car engine

A dog that chased a cat under a car got its head stuck in the engine. Woody the Bedlington Terrier got himself jammed in the workings of a neighbor's Vauxhall Corsa after the pursuit in Plymouth, Devon, on Friday evening went horribly wrong. Woody scrambled under the car but then went up through the undercarriage and was only found when the owner opened the bonnet.
He spotted the dog's head perfectly wedged inside the engine. Woody's owner Mike Tracey, said: "My neighbor opened up the bonnet of his car Woody was just sat there looking at me. It was almost like he was saying, 'I'm stuck dad'". After trying to free him, with the help of fellow residents, the 52-year-old owner was forced to call the fire service for assistance. Mike added: "We thought about using a jack to try and get him out but we were worried about something going wrong.
"I didn't really want to call the fire brigade and be one of those 'cat stuck in a tree kind of people' but they turned up and were absolutely brilliant." A crew from Crownhill fire station attended and helped free a bashful Woody by removing one of the leads within the engine, to allow him to be pried out of the top. The three-year-old dog was covered in oil but didn't sustain any injuries during his mini-ordeal and was right as rain after a good bath.

But Woody may need a bit longer to deal with the embarrassment after his unique ordeal. Mike added: "I think he was feeling a bit sheepish as there was a bit of a crowd to watch the firefighters get him out. Even the firemen said 'well, this is a new one' when they turned-up. I plan to go up to the station and say thank you to them because they didn't take the mick at all and were really good about the whole thing. Woody does seems a bit sulky but I suppose he has been through a lot."
