Have you ever seen the big , sticky glue instrument panel trap that are used to pick up mouse and so-and-so ? Imagine what it would be like to get one of those stuck in your hair or stuck to your aspect . That ’s exactly what happened to one tiny dog in Phoenix , Arizona . Thankfully , some quick thought and a littlepeanut buttersaved her life .
Late last week Abby , a 4 - pound Yorkshire Terrier / Chihuahua mix , found herself stuck to one of these glue bunker . A Good Samaritan found the pitiful dog and get through Emergency Animal Medical Technicians ( EAMTs ) from theArizona Humane Societyfor help . Sadly , by the time assistant arrived on the conniption Abby had already succumbed to exhaustion and had collapse look down in the sticky glue .
She was shin to respire and had glue lodged in her nasal passages and her eyes . If she had n’t been rescue when she was , she would have quickly suffocated and died . Andy Gallo , one of the EAMTs that respond to the incident , pronounce that she was so exhausted from struggling to free herself that she looked like she was already gone . Then he construe her take a single breath .

Gallo know that if he scramble to pull thestray dogfree it would cause her severe pain and most likely rip the fur , and possibly even skin , off her face . He decided to get creative and render a more humanistic approaching . Gallo requested groundnut butter and gently flog it all over Abby ’s case . If you ’ve ever tried to remove gum from someone ’s hair you ’ve likely heard of this joke too .
The peanut oil worked to relax the mucilage ’s clench and Gallo was able to painlessly remove the glue trap from Abby ’s body . He say that her paws were embedded deep in the gum and it appear as if she wastrying to chewthe trap off of herself because there was gum embed into her nostrils . It take a lot of peanut butter and a lot of tedious work , but Abby was eventually costless .
EAMTs took Abby to the Second Chance Animal Hospital to be cleaned and groomed . She suffer very little fur and was not hurt in any way . After a good night ’s rest she was back to normal the next day . Abby is now stay at the Arizona Humane Society ’s Campus for Compassion until a worthy menage can be find for her .
