When the Pound Buddies crew arrived, they realized the dog’s harness had gotten stuck, and the pup couldn’t get out.

It took some digging and about an hour of trying to get the harness loose, but rescuers eventually freed the little pit mix free.

Pound Buddies, who’ve named the pup Courtni, reports she’s recovering at their shelter and is skittish but doing better.
