Firefighters rescue dog from a tree

SALEM, Ky. -- Is that a bird in the tree? A cat? No, it's Rocco the dog, who had to be rescued by firefighters when the dachshund got stuck inside a tree trunk. Two off-duty Kentucky state troopers were mowing a cemetery in Salem on Thursday when they heard a dog barking. They they found the pooch trapped inside a tree. Rocco apparently had climbed into a nearby hole dug by a groundhog and found his way up through the tree trunk, where he became stuck. A firefighter cut part of the tree, freeing Rocco. -- Associated Press
