A tiny pup is rescued with a pair of pliers after it got its head stuck in a plastic stool while playing.
Phone footage shows the moment the naughty puppy is rescued by a man at what looks like an arcade bar in Guangdong Province, in south-eastern China.
The dog’s female owner held onto the small, blue chair with narrow holes after her pooch got its head stuck in it while its rescuer carefully cut through the plastic.
Incredibly, it remained completely still while the man chipped away at the stool just inches away from its head.
Before long, it was free and thankfully escaped any injury.
The clip attracted widespread attention on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, gaining more than 182,000 likes and over 200,000 shares.
One user going by ‘wisdom’ commented: “Save the dog, save the dog quickly.”
While user ‘_ Haoyue’ wrote: How did it even stick its head in the stool?”
And ‘polar panda’ remarked: “This little dog is so cute.”
