We love dogs here at Twitchy, and we hate to see precious pups sad and in distress. Thankfully, this story has a happy tail-wagging ending. A puppy named Zoe in California recently got stuck between two big boulders. Firefighters sprang into action to free the good girl from a tight squeeze.

Here’s more background. (READ)

Firefighters rescue a three-month-old puppy that got stuck between two large boulders in Ramona, California.

The puppy, Zoe, was heard crying as the firefighters tried freeing her from the crevice.

“Arriving with technical rescue gear, the crews worked carefully and methodically,” CAL FIRE said.

“Using pneumatic air bags, ropes, and hoses, they created just enough space to free Zoe without shifting the rocks too far or causing injury.”

“The team pulled Zoe free, muddy but unharmed. After a quick check and a lot of tail wags, she is back home and happy.”

Here’s the rescue. (WATCH)

My claustrophobia has claustrophobia. This is waking nightmare – I’m just so glad that poor baby is out. I’m running outside into a big open space now, thanks.

Poor baby…I can’t imagine how claustrophobic it must’ve had her feeling 😥

It’s okay Zoe! I often find myself between a rock and a hard place as well. 😭

We’re so glad she was pulled from that terrifying trap.

Commenters shared some of their doggie dreams.

People say I’m too attached to my dog.

I’d give my dog my car to go to the store if he needed it.

Tried that once. Never saw the dog nor the car ever again.

😂 I would like to come back as one of my dogs. No one lives better than them. 😂

Dogs have the best life. We don’t deserve them.

I think Zoe should just live at the firehouse after this.

Zoe has a home, but we’re sure her owners will let her visit the firehouse from time to time to reunite with her rescuers.
