A man surnamed Zhao dialed a fire emergency hotline for help on Sunday after hornets attacked his wolfhound in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province.

Zhao unwittingly tied his dog to a tree that had a large hornet's nest when he went to a restaurant on the city's Taishan Road.

When Zhao finished eating he found his dog being attacked by hornets. The dog was rescued when fire fighters arrived on the scene 15 minutes later, but it was seriously injured.
