A pit bull intent on chasing down an opossum was foiled when he ended up wedged around 100 feet (30 metres) into a pipe in North Carolina.
Claremont Rescue chief Eric Jones said in a Facebook post that his agency was called late on Tuesday night to the scene, where Rocky the dog’s worried owner stood.
The rescuers dug holes in different locations to try to find Rocky, eventually locating him at a junction between the cast iron and corrugated pipe.

Mr Jones wrote on Facebook: “Rocky and his owner was very happy when we did. Awesome job by Claremont Rescue, Animal Control and the owner. Rocky was excited too. No more possum chasing for him.”
