A five-month-old puppy has been rescued after spending two months running around the neighbourhood with a plastic jug on his head.

The stray dog, thought to be a German Shepherd mix, was thought to have stuck his head into a plastic pet feeder in a barn and been unable to get it off.

But the puppy – now named Bucket – is finally free after Audra Bohannon and her family, of Northwest Harris County, Texas, tracked him down after weeks of trying to catch him.

‘Every night I went to bed thinking about that dog and I really felt bad for him having that on his head,’ Ms Bohannon said.

Using metal shears, Ms Bohannon was able to cut the jug open, later posting the video of his rescue on her Facebook page.

‘It’s amazing how this dog had a Bucket on his head for two months and now he’s playing like any other dog,’ she wrote.
