Hero firefighters have come to the rescue of a 12-week-old puppy that was trapped in a wall beneath a Sydney home.

Fire and Rescue NSW crews rushed to a Merrylands house just after midday to rescue the adventurous puppy, stuck below the house in Sydney’s west.

A FRNSW spokesman said the Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Lulu got her head stuck in a concrete block at the Chelsea St home about 12.15pm on Friday.

“FRNSW crews, including rescue specialists, responded from Wentworthville and Guildford,” a spokesman said.

“On arrival, they gently removed the brick and moved it to a more accessible location to free the distressed puppy, using a shield to protect her neck.

“Moments later, the pup was freed without injury and reunited with her grateful owner.”
