A dog in Linköping that got its paw stuck in the sink had the emergency services called out on Sunday evening.
– For some reason, the dog stepped in the sink, and managed to get a claw and a tread pad down into the small holes in the strainer, and did not come free, says Pedher Helmer, officer on duty at the rescue service.
The rushing firefighters unscrewed the drain and removed the strainer – so the dog, with the strainer still on its paw, could be lifted away.
The piano stomp ended happily and the dog did not have to go to the vet.
-They took washing-up liquid and removed the strainer as well. Everything was peace and joy, says Pedher Helmer.
The dog was estimated to be stuck for about 30 minutes.
– There is no danger, it was probably most stressed by the course of events, says Pedher Helmer.
