Miami-Dade firefighters rescue dog stuck in chain-link fence

MIAMI – Miami-Dade firefighters rescued a dog that got stuck in a chain-link fence early Friday morning.

The rescue happened shortly after midnight on Northwest 57th Street.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Lt. Erika Benitez said the dog's owner was trying to keep his dog calm when firefighters arrived.

Benitez said firefighters cut the bottom portion of the fence to release pressure and freed the dog after about 10 minutes.

She said the dog had two small puncture wounds to the neck but was otherwise OK.

The owner didn't know how his dog got stuck in the fence, but he was happy to see his four-legged friend running around again.
