Three suburban Chicago firefighters rescued a small dog that became trapped inside a mechanized recliner chair by sawing the piece of furniture apart.
Eighty-seven-year-old owner Ken Makris says his terrier, Ebonyser, has nerve damage following his Thursday night ordeal but that he is "coming along fine."
Firefighters who responded to an emergency call from the Sunrise of Naperville assisted living center Thursday arrived to find a nurse's aide hanging onto the chair to relieve the pressure on the dog and allow it to breathe. Firefighter and paramedic Scott Bolda says the chair's electrical controls stopped working when Ebonyser become wedged inside.
Makris says the 5-year-old pooch is on painkillers but that he was able to go out for a walk Monday.
What a lazy boy
I've always been afraid of my pets getting trapped and mashed up in my chair. :ohdear:
I'm so glad that dog is okay.
I'd be pissed if my recliner got all cut up...
First happy that the dog is ok, of course, but once that's subsided, yeah, pissed.
Oh man, my cat got stuck in a recliner once. I turned it upside down and was trying to pull her out and she was hissing and growling at me. Finally, I stormed off because she was being so uncooperative and she slipped out on her own. For awhile I was afraid I was going to have to cut open the chair, though!

I am pretty sure we would all be.

I am still trying to figure out how the dog got caught in the recliner in the first place.
