The deputies were able to cut off the dog’s collar and free her.
“Despite some facial and foot injuries, the puppy wagged her tail and showed gratitude for the deputies’ kindness,” said the sheriff’s office in the tweet.
The pup was seen by a vet and then sent home to be reunited with her owner.
While the sheriff’s office acknowledges this was a freak accident with a happy ending, deputies remind all pet owners to check for potential hazards because our furry friends depend on us to keep them safe.
