Puppy cut free from watering can
A puppy had to have a plastic watering can cut off his head by a fire crew after becoming stuck in it.

Ollie, the 14-week-old Golden Retriever, was cut free after his "distressed" owner called out firefighters on Monday lunchtime.

The crew arrived in an appliance to help the dog in Victoria Road, Newport.

Sub Officer Kelvin Wright said: "The owner was more distressed than the dog. I can honestly say I have never done anything like that before."
