Dog Rescued from Dryer Vent in South Carolina

By Tim Binnall

A dog in South Carolina wound up needing rescue after it managed to get its head stuck in the dyrer vent of a home. The strange situation reportedly occurred last week in the community of Sumter and was detailed in a Facebook post by the city's police department. They explained that the dog, named Spike, had been "sniffing out mischief" when it found itself in the weird predicament wherein its head was stuck sticking out of the house by way of the dryer vent.

The pooch's owners quickly discovered what their dog had gotten himself into and, presumably unable to extricate him from the vent themselves, called upon police for help. Working alongside the city's fire department, they were able to free Spike from "his unfortunate circumstances" by expanding the dyer vent hole, which allowed the animal to make its way back inside the house. Fortunately, they wrote, the dog is "doing fine," while "probably looking to see what else he can get into for the day."
