Spike, an otherwise happy hound from South Carolina, found himself in a tight spot after the dog became stuck in his owner's dryer vent.

The Sumter Police Department said that Spike was "sniffing out mischief" on Nov. 30, when he got stuck in the dryer vent.

In a Facebook post, the Police Department said that officers first received reports of a stuck pup at 2 p.m. from a woman who was babysitting Spike.

When police and fire officials arrived at the peculiar scene, they found Spike's bashful face sticking out of the home.

Officers said Spike had somehow managed to poke through a dryer vent and ended up with his head outside the house, while the rest of his body remained indoors.
