The local fire brigade came to the rescue of a dog trapped behind a concrete wall at a Rotorua property today.
A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesman said they were called to a Kawaha Pt Rd property about 10.10am where Jazz, a 7-year-old miniature schnauzer, had become trapped behind a concrete block wall.
Four staff and one appliance attended the scene.
Rotorua station officer Dean Irwin said no tools were needed to extract the dog just a "bit of coaxing and persuasion."
"The little dog was trapped behind one of those old school concrete block walks with the holes in it from the 1970s.
