Firefighters use Jaws of Life to free Rottweiler that got head stuck in cinder block

This puppy got a little too curious outside a home in Florida. St. Johns County Fire Rescue

Fifi the Rottweiler is a very curious puppy. So curious, in fact, that she managed to somehow get her head wedged in a cinder block.

Florida fire officials were called to a home over the weekend after Fifi’s owner found the animal “in a rather precarious situation.”

“Fifi was apparently sniffing around her residence and became stuck in a cinder block,” St. Johns County Fire Rescue said. “The six-month-old puppy managed to wedge her head inside one of the holes in the block.”

The dog was not injured as a result of the little misadventure and was “excited to be sniffing around again.”
