Poppy the Jack Russell got wedged down a drainpipe while out with her owner in Tadcaster on Saturday afternoon.

Crews from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene near Wetherby Road after the pooch found herself trapped.

Station manager Bob Hoskins said Poppy was now "safely back with her owner".
