An inquisitive puppy was rescued after it became wedged in a small gap for more than an hour.

The 12-week-old boxer was exploring its new home in Ashford when it became stuck between the shed and house.

Firefighters were called out yesterday afternoon after its owners were unable to free the puppy.

The pup, named Holly, was freed by the animal rescue unit, which used hydraulic equipment to move the shed away from the house.

After the dog was freed, it enjoyed a cuddle with the firefighters that came to its rescue.

Crews were called to the property in Snowbell Road just after 3pm.
