Montana Firefighters Free Puppy That Got His Head Stuck in Wheel Using 'Lot of Coconut Oil, Patience'
This playful puppy recently found himself in quite the "ruff" situation after poking his head through a wheel in his owner's yard in Montana.
The owner had left the "inquisitive" coonhound named Blaze outside in his yard for a few hours on Monday. When he came home, he found Blaze "in a very precarious position" with his head stuck in a wheel, the Butte-Silver Bow Fire Department wrote on Facebook.
The owner took him to a veterinary hospital, which then called the fire department for help.
"With a lot of coconut oil, patience, a lot of ear tucking, and some powerful skin-pulling,

I'm triggered!!
Coonhound? Coconut oil?
This sounds like a very racist article to me. The BLM activists to rabble rouse in 5, 4, 3 ...
B...b...but it was a Dog of Color and everyone rallied to save it, what’s the problem?
I know a quicker way....
Poor little urchin. Coconut oil is good AND organic to boot.
Animals can get into some of the worst predicaments! One
year, the vet gave us a tag for Dub’s collar. Well, she
immediately got it stuck between two wooden boards on the
front porch. It turned when she jerked and there was no way
she could escape without help. (That did it with the tag. If
she happened to get trapped like that in the woods, there
would be no one to help her. Of course, I guess we would
HEAR her crying loud and clear.)
Coconut oil is expensive! They couldn’t find some Wesson?
His name forever will be,” Wheels”
I can see Sylvester picking up his tail and paddling him with a board.
'Seneca,' resting between bouts of mischief...
Knock the Chump off the Stump was the Game of the Day a few weeks back. These pups are about 6 months old and heading for Fur-ever homes real quick!
My grandaddy’s Black & Tan [named Blackie, naturally] got his head stuck in a glass coffee pot.
They had to break the glass and then cut off the metal band that the handle was attached to.
Maybe it’s the breed.
I grew up with Coonhounds as my first dogs and many nights chasing the bandits in the woods with my dad.
Walkers, Blueticks and Black & Tans, mostly.
I ran into a Redbone and a Plott Hound at PetSmart last week.
The bell of a hound pack is still the sweetest sound, ever.
“The bell of a hound pack is still the sweetest sound, ever.”
Agreed! We also have Plott Hounds. Great Bear dogs.
Grand Nite Champion, 'Cowboy's Xtra Gunner Dog' (Gunner). He passed away of natural causes this past December, he was 10. He's the father to the bigger pups I posted above.
That “ think you can catch me?” look - know it well. . .
Amen to that. Used to run mainly Walkers and Blue Ticks with my FIL. Fun times....

When I was serving in the Navy some of my shipmates referred to Filipinos as coconuts.
Having no hunting experience other than maiming raccoons w a pellet gun I was suddenly filled with enlightenment. No wonder! Anytime she got out she never returned empty-mouthed. Cotton-tailed rabbits, possum, birds, it was nothing short of carnage. I had other dogs that would do nothing in the presence of varmints so this was totally unusual. Until I found out about Blue Ticks. Total accident that she found me.
Best dog ever - RIP.
