They first gave the German Shepherd some water. They then realized that they were going to have to be very careful, because the frightened dog was not easily approached; he bared his teeth and groaned. Which forced them to make him wear a muzzle.
Then, the drive shaft and the anti-roll bar were removed. Eventually, the quadruped was able to be freed and returned to its relieved owner.
