BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Enzo, an Australian shepherd, was brought to the Bloomington Fire Department on Tuesday, Sept. 17, after a round bone became lodged around his lower jaw, according to a Facebook post from the department.

Firefighters then transported Enzo to an emergency veterinary clinic, where he was sedated, and the bone was carefully removed using a Dremel tool.

“We’re so glad Enzo is safe, and everything turned out well,” the firefighters shared. “A great ending!”
