EIGHT firefighters called to rescue dog which became stuck inside reclining chair
Princess, the corgi was snoozing under the chair but became trapped when her owner sat down. A team of eight firemen had to dismantle a reclining chair to rescue the dog. Three-year-old corgi Princess got stuck in the scissor mechanism.
Firefighters in Ammanford, near Swansea, said the owner had tried to free the pet by unscrewing nuts and bolts from the recliner. Rescuer Jason Cadman said: “The owner was relieved when we got her out, and the dog was wagging her tail so she was happy too.”

The Welsh corgi is a small type of herding dog that originated in Wales. Outside Wales, corgis have been made popular by Queen Elizabeth II who has at least four in her retinue at all times. Her first corgi was called Susan and was given to her on her eighteenth birthday. She currently keeps two corgis and two Dorgis (corgi/dachshund cross), and all of her corgis and Dorgis are the descendants of Susan.
