The RSPCA received a call at 7am this morning (Friday) from a concerned member of the public who could hear a dog in distress near Edward Road, Haywards Heath.

RSPCA Animal Welfare Officer (AWO) Marie Stevens quickly arrived on scene and found an extremely distressed German Shepherd dog in a small back alley.

The dog had her head stuck firmly in the bars of a metal gate - which in turn was wedged between the narrow walls of the alley, making it impossible for the animal to move.

“The poor dog was very upset, crying and clearly distressed.

“Unsurprisingly she displayed some aggression towards me as I approached but I knew she was just afraid,” said AWO Stevens.

“I spoke to her for a while, letting her know that I was friendly and once she calmed down I was able to get near enough to help get her head out of the gate.

“Frankly, by the time I’d finished she looked rather embarrassed about the whole incident!” she added.
