A dog was rescued on Wednesday afternoon by firefighters after its head had become caught in a vehicle’s wheel well.
Breaking news: we are doing all we can to assist this pup. She got herself stuck in this spare tire in #Coachella. We oiled her up, but her neck is swollen. She is now sedated — and our friends with fire department en route. #WheeliePup #RivCoNOW #PuppyPredicament pic.twitter.com/8LB2dlFvtN

The female Australian cattle dog did not suffer any serious injuries. It is resting and struggling to stand but is eating. Authorities are seeking her owner so she can return home. Until then, the dog will be taken care of at the animal campus.
