A PUPPY got more than it bargained for when it poked its head through a gate.

The Poodle had to be rescued by firefighters after the incident near York on Monday evening.

"Huntington crew helped rescue a 12-week old poodle puppy who'd got its head stuck in a metal gate," said a spokesman for North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue. "Crew used hydraulic spreaders to release puppy from gate, unharmed into care of very grateful owners. #notjustfires."
