Two naughty puppies were rescued after both getting their heads stuck in the holes of a metal gate while playing.

The pooches were heard whimpering in pain while stuck on the fence of an antique's warehouse in Lopburi, Thailand on August 9.

Locals called the Khok Samrong Welfare Rescue Association who arrived to find the two puppies crying as they tried to wriggle free.

The two black puppies, only a few weeks old, wandered outside of their mother's nest at a neaby house and tried to pass through the 3inches wide circular hole in the fence.

The rescuers spent around two hours as the delicate newborns were too frightened to be handled by strangers.

The team decided to cut the metal fence instead to widen the gap and free the scared puppies.

The puppies were unharmed and finally reunited with their mother after the rescuers successfully cut the fence using their tools.
