A hapless dog needed rescuing by firefighters after getting his head stuck - in a cat flap. 

Fire crews were called after the Rottweiler - dubbed 'Hank the Tank'  - got firmly wedged as he tried to squeeze through the gap at his home in Kidderminster.

Comical pictures show the pooch looking a little embarrassed with his tongue sticking out before firefighters freed him at 1pm yesterday (Thursday).

Herefordshire and Worcestershire Fire and Rescue Service shared the images on X, formerly known as Twitter.
