The pet was trapped behind railings and entangled in brambles close to the railway line behind Baines Endowed Primary School in Thornton.

A crew from Bispham was called out around noon by a member of the public, with the dog's owner also there when they arrived.

It wasn't hurt, and has now been reunited, a spokesman said.
