A nine-week old puppy was saved from choking by a group of police officers and firefighters.

Bohdi, a baby St Bernard, was "not breathing, limp and unresponsive" after it had choked on food, police in North Reading, Massachusetts, said.

Over the course of 10 minutes, CCTV cameras caught the emergency services personnel working on the dog and eventually they were able to dislodge the obstructing object.

Bohdi is currently being cared for by a vet and expected to make a full recovery.
