Animal rescuers in Britain said a fox was rescued from the narrow gap between the external walls of a house and its garage.

RSPCA inspector Andrew Kirby said he was summoned to a home in Worthing, England, when the homeowners discovered the young animal trapped in a difficult position.

“I suspect she was walking along the top of the wall when she fell into the gap and got stuck. The gap was only around 6 inches and the more she wriggled the more wedged in she got,” Kirby said.

“The owner of the house managed to make a small hole in the wall and removed a couple of the bricks to reveal her little head but she was still stuck fast,” he said.

Kirby said he broke away more of the wall and extracted the fox.

“The family suspect she’d been stuck for more than 24 hours so we fed her and watered her and confined her in the garden overnight in the hope that her mum would return to collect her,” he said.

Kirby said the fox’s mother did not return by the next day, so the cub was taken to The Fox Project for care. https://www.upi.com/

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.

The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.

Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.

The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.

Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.

“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.

Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.

San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.

Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.

“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”

The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
