A mum was trapped for an hour with her hand stuck inside her pet boxer's mouth.

Pregnant Vicky Morl speared her hand when she tried to pluck out a fishing hook which was stuck in the animal's jaw, reports the Daily Mirror.

It was a case of becoming too attached to her agitated pet - for whenever he moved, poor Vicky had to move with him.

She was finally released by a fire crew and paramedics and taken to hospital. Her left hand was so badly injured she needed a skin graft.

Husband James said: "Both Vicky and the dog were very upset. But the emergency services managed to calm them down and set them free."

Vicky, in her late 20s, became trapped after her pet rummaged round the garden of her home in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

Somehow, he ended up with a lethally sharp fishing hook in his mouth. Vicky tried to wiggle it free. But as she did so, the hook penetrated her hand and she was caught up as well.

Luckily she was able to hit a phone pad with her free hand to let James know of her predicament.

He dialled 999 and emergency services went to the scene. It took more than hour to untangle the pair.

An ambulance spokesman said: "Every time someone got near the dog it moved. And every time the dog moved, Vicky had to move with it. It was a difficult job - and it was certainly very different."
