Laughter as Woman Cries Waiting for Fire Department To Help Her Stuck Puppy

A video of a woman in hysterics after her dog got trapped in a hole in a wall has gone viral on TikTok, where it had received 7.3 million views at the time of reporting.

The clip, shared by TikTok user Chanelle Jordyn (@momma.got.lotta.beals) showed a woman in tears saying: "Don't worry, the fire department are on their way."

With tear-filled eyes and a shaky voice, the woman noted: "Get a puppy, they said. It'll be fun, they said."

The camera then panned over to a dog with its head stuck in an opening at the bottom of a concrete-type wall.

The video was shared with a caption that read: "It is funny now that it's over but this morning was B*******. #dogmom #newpuppy #dogsoftiktok #dogs #puppies #stuckonyou #newdog #fyp."

As over-the-top as the reaction of the dog owner in the latest video may have seemed, it's not unusual for humans to be so deeply caring and reactive towards their pups.

A February 2015 study published in the peer-reviewed Psychology Research and Behavior Management stated that "the dog–human attachment bond is characterized by all four features of attachment bonds that arise in human caregiver–infant relationships."

The study's findings highlighted the "growing evidence that human factors, including personality and attitudes, influence the dog–human relationship. In particular, both positive attitudes and affiliative behavior seem to contribute to a strong dog–human bond..."

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the U.K.-based charity, advises that: "Knowing basic first aid could prove vitally important if your pet has an accident or suddenly falls ill. If something happens to your dog, remember to stay calm and contact a vet as soon as possible."

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) says while emergency treatment and first aid for pets should never be used as a substitute for veterinary care, "it may save your pet's life before you can get your pet to a veterinarian."

See the AVMA website for more detailed information on how to administer basic first aid to your pet in the following scenarios:

• Poisoning and exposure to toxins
• Seizures
• Fractures
• Bleeding (external)
• Bleeding (internal)
• Burns
• Choking
• Heatstroke
• Shock
• Pet is not breathing
• Pet has no heartbeat

The latest viral video has seen TikTokers relieved that the dog is okay, but also in stitches because of the owner's dramatic reaction.

In a comment that got 40,100 likes, Marissa Medici McCal said: "He's barking so he's breathing, i'm sorry you went through that. Puppies be puppin' lol [laugh out loud]."

Mrs. Dee Penda wrote: "I'm so sorry but why is this so funny to me lol I hope you're both okay [red heart emoji]."
