An Ottawa dog crawled into a car engine to keep warm over the weekend, forcing bylaw officials to have the car towed to a nearby dealership so the animal could be rescued.

Bylaw officials say the dog climbed into the engine near Moodie Drive and Barnsdale Road. Officers tried for over an hour to free the dog, but were unsuccessful.

The car was towed to Barrhaven Honda, where service technicians hoisted the vehicle, helped dismantle some components and lent the bylaw officers some tools.
