Dog whose head was stuck in dislodged exhaust pipe is rescued by Oxnard firefighters

OXNARD, Calif. (KABC) -- A dog is recovering after getting his head stuck in a portion of a dislodged semi-truck exhaust pipe in Oxnard, which prompted a rescue operation by firefighters.

When the firefighters responded to the scene, the dog, named Shadow, was having trouble breathing, according to the Oxnard Fire Department.

Multiple crews jumped into action, using a power tool to cut a hole in the pipe to help the compromised canine breathe.

They were eventually able to cut the industrial material off of Shadow without any injuries.
