A dog who became trapped in a pipe buried a metre (3.2ft) underground has been successfully rescued by firefighters.

Three crews from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of a trapped dog on Valley Road in Newton, near Sudbury, on Monday.

A two-year-old French bulldog called Moose had become stuck and crews had to dig down to the pipe before cutting a section away to safely release it.

It took crews about an hour to rescue the dog before it was reunited with its owners.
