Cats aren’t the only pets that get stuck in trees.

Just ask the firefighters who rescued a Great Dane from a high bough in rural Louisville, Nebraska, late Saturday night.

“You’re not going to believe this,” one Plattsmouth firefighter said to another after receiving the call for help about 10:10 p.m. “They said there’s a 125-pound Great Dane stuck 20 feet up in a tree.”

They weren’t the first in disbelief.

This is a time when you sure wish they could talk.

If this had been April Fools Day... No way would they have believed the guy.

Let alone get herself stuck in a tree. I dunno if I am relieved or jealous.
