Australian fire crews have captured the moment they pulled a puppy from a tight sewer pipe.

Fire and Rescue New South Wales (NSW) said the Cavoodle fell 1.5 metres into a narrow sewer pipe on Friday.

Fire crews were called to the Lake Macquarie home after the puppy became stuck in the pipe. 

Footage shows crews lowering an animal catch pole down the tight pipe, before "gently tightening" the cable loop around the puppy's midriff.

The puppy's screams can be heard as fire crews slowly pull the puppy through the pipe and up to the surface. 

Once the puppy finally came to the surface, cheers of celebration can be heard in the video.

"Oh look at you," says what appears to be the owner. 

Fire and Rescue NSW said the rescue mission was completed in less than half an hour, with the little Cavoodle back in the hands of its "delighted" owner.
