The cat is not the only one that can be killed by curiosity.

Dogs find themselves in peril due to their inquisitive nature too.


Firefighters came to the rescue of a doggo in need when they retrieved a poor pooch from a ceiling duct.

The crew from Fairfax County in Virginia were called to a home in West Springfield where a dog had become stuck in the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system.

The crew later shared video of the experience on their Facebook page with a very punny caption.

They wrote:

ā€œThe crew from Engine 427, West Springfield, responded to a ruff and far-fetched rescue last night. A small dog was trapped in an HVAC duct in a home."
ā€œCrews took a brief paws to shed some light on dogs location and work out strategy. Firefighter Mark Williams proceeded to cut a hole in the basement ceiling and retrieve the dog."
ā€œA happy and pawsitive outcome fur all! #fcfrd"
