Randy the Dragon gets stuck in 'Elsewhere'

Veterinarians have saved a bearded dragon whose head was caught in a toy.

Employees at the New England Animal Medical Center were surprised when a pet lizard named Randy was brought in with Spongebob's pineapple house on his head. A Facebook post from the Center showed some pictures of Randy's predicament and wrote that it was the cutest emergency they've ever had. They were able to break open the toy to free the lizard without injuring him. Randy is now back home and won't be making any more trips under the sea anytime soon.
