Dog stuck in cheese balls jar for three days is finally freed

A dog has been given the nickname Cheeto after he was freed from a jar of cheese balls.

The dog had become emaciated after not having any food or water for three days when his head became stuck.

It is believed that he was walking around with the jar on his head for three days in Carleton, near Detroit.

Thankfully, heroes from Last Stop Animal Rescue were on hand to help him.

They used a pair of hedge clippers to free Cheeto who then gratefully ate some food and drank lots of water.

Shelter owner Tom Walsh said Cheeto was likely to be ‘right down to the wire’ and wouldn’t have survived much longer.

He’s now recovering from his ordeal and looking for a permanent home.

He’s believed to be a Great Pyrenees and German shepherd cross, around 18 months old and has a few health issues.

The charity is asking for help paying for Cheeto’s medical bills.
