Puppy accidents frequently entail their ingesting something they shouldn’t, such snow salt or carpet lint. Sometimes they include taking a tumble off a table or playing with the wrong grown-up dog.
Rebel, an 8-month-old German Shepherd from Riverside Country, California, managed to locate a new, unusual form of puppy accident. He spent a large chunk of Monday afternoon with his head jammed in a cinder brick wall.
Rebel’s owner was gone, but a neighbor heard Rebel’s screams for aid and phoned Riverside County Department of Animal Services, who quickly rushed their team to help.
When they arrived, they discovered a slightly wounded and puzzled dog.
“My immediate thought was, ‘Wow, how’d he get in there?’” Riverside County Animal Services Sgt. James Huffman stated in a press release. “And why is there a hole that huge in the wall?” 
Sgt. Huffman and a colleague, Officer Hector Palafox, quickly examined the dog’s respiration and found that he was not in significant danger, the release adds. He was still able to breathe easily, despite the unpleasant circumstances.
“Our biggest concern was not injuring him in doing so,” Huffman added.
