'Happy ending' | |
The dog was freed at about 14:20. | |
Firefighter Steve Bonsor said the dog was "fine". | |
"We spent about 45 minutes trying to entice the dog from side to side hoping we could get it to hit the central locking button again," he said. | |
"But when that didn't work and we noticed the animal was getting a bit dehydrated, we had to smash a rear quarter light window to reach in safely and lift the door lock. | |
"It was a happy ending." |
