Dog saved from plastic bottle trapped on its head for TWO days in west India

A dog whose head was stuck inside a plastic container for nearly two days was rescued by volunteers in western India.

The incident took place on October 13 in Maharashtra's Nashik city.

Visuals show two people helping the dog, one who held its body and the other who tries to take off the container from its head.

The dog, that was emaciated after being unable to eat for two days, writhed in pain as its rescuer tried to help it out.

While the dog slipped out of one of the rescuer's hands, the men managed to pull out the container in the second attempt.

Once freed, the dog was seen running away.

The mission lasted for 20 minutes.
