Firefighters have rescued a puppy after it became trapped behind a shed.

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service said Todd, a nine-month-old miniature schnauzer, followed his nose behind a shed but could not get back out.

One crew from Rayleigh was called to Chapel Lane in Hadleigh at about 11:45 GMT on Tuesday.

They said they worked together to lift the shed and reunited the puppy with its owner by about 12:30.
