A fox cub needed a helping hand after it managed to get its paws stuck between the slats of a wooden garden chair last week.
The baby fox was freed by an RSPCA officer after the charity was called to a residential garden in Greenhayes Close, Reigate, in Surrey, on Saturday, July 20.
Photographs show the poor cub looking nervously at officer Chloe Wilson, as her two front paws were lodged in-between the slats.
Ms Wilson had rescued a fox cub caught in netting in South Godstone a week prior, according to a weekly local paper.
The cub was taken for treatment and rehabilitation at Wildlife Aid Foundation in Leatherhead.

Ms Wilson said: ‘I’m pleased I was able to help this fox, free her quickly and get her to wildlife experts for treatment and support,’ it was reported by Woking News and Mail.
She said she put on some ‘thick gloves’ and ‘approached the vixen slowly’ and was able to lift her paws out from the slats.
The baby fox had ‘cuts on her legs’ where she had been attempting to free herself by tugging or pulling.

Ms Wilson said there was another fox nearby so she suspects they had been playing on the furniture when the fox became trapped.
Due to the cuts on the fox’s legs, Ms Wilson took her to Wildlife Aid Foundation for treatment.
