911, what's your emergency? Uh, yeah, my dog's stuck in a tire, could you bring the
jaws of life?It took the Jaws of Life and a veterinarian, but Cinnamon the Boston terrier is no longer stuck in a tire.
On Tuesday, Wayne Hyde saw his 10-month-old dog's rear quarters sticking in the air, her head plugged into the center rim of a full-size tire.
Trudy Dillinger, Hyde's girlfriend, tried using Vaseline to release the 17-pound dog's head, which seemed bigger than the 4-inch-diameter ring around her neck.
Then they used their most serious extraction device, a rescue tool called the Jaws of Life, which uses hydraulic power to pry apart or slice open cars when accident victims are stuck.
