Curiosity got a four-month-old pup into serious trouble in eastern India on June 10.<br /><br />After straying into a home in Bhubaneswar, the dog tried to peep through the grill mesh of an iron gate to get a better view of the street. <br /><br />And to its horror, it got its head stuck in the fence.<br /><br />The owner of the house Lingaraj Hati heard the animal crying and went out to check. Unable to free it, he called the Snake Helpline. <br /><br />Snake Helpline founder Subhendu Mallik reached the spot and tried to free the puppy with the help of locals. After failing he called the Fire brigade for help. <br /> <br />A team of fire personnel arrived promptly and started the rescue operation. Two men held the legs and neck of the dog and gently pulled it out. <br /><br />The rescue operation lasted just four minutes and the pup ran away happily.<br /><br />Subhendu Mallik said: "We fed the pup and ensured it was not dehydrated. The firemen did an excellent job."
