Knoxville, TN - Sure you've heard of cats getting stuck in trees, but what about a dog?

Buford, a 5-month-old hound mix, climbed a tree on Tuesday, and no one can figure out how he managed such a feat.

A KUB bucket truck crew rescued Buford from a tree in South Knox County that was more than 20 feet tall. No one saw it happen, but he had managed to find his way to the very top branch.

After doing a lot of coaxing, a KUB worker managed to get Buford into the bucket truck and back down into the waiting arms of his family.

Even in his excited state, Buford still remembered his manners. He walked around and personally thanked all the workers who played a role in his rescue.

The experience apparently was a first for others besides Buford.

"Never seen it in my life. Have you ever seen a dog climb a tree? I sure haven't. This is a first for me," said Tyler Wilson, Buford's owner.

As for the "how, when, and why" surrounding Buford's bizzare predicament? We may never know.
