Odd Job: Illinois Dog Trapped in Recliner
NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Three suburban Chicago firefighters rescued a small dog that became trapped inside a mechanized recliner chair by sawing the piece of furniture apart.
Eighty-seven-year-old owner Ken Makris says his terrier, Ebonyser, has nerve damage following his Thursday night ordeal but that he is "coming along fine."
Firefighters who responded to an emergency call from the Sunrise of Naperville assisted living center Thursday arrived to find a nurse's aide hanging onto the chair to relieve the pressure on the dog and allow it to breathe. Firefighter and paramedic Scott Bolda says the chair's electrical controls stopped working when Ebonyser become wedged inside.
Makris says the 5-year-old pooch is on painkillers but that he was able to go out for a walk Monday.

I think the rules of farm extrication apply here. That rule states the amount of damage one may do to the item of entrapment is directly proportional to the closenness of the entrapped individual to the owner of the mechanism of entrapment.

I can see the headline in National Enquirer: "Chair Eats Dog".
