Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 75 lbs
My dog got into a roll of duct tape a moment ago and got it stuck to his belly, it’s not easily removable without hurting him and he won’t even let us near it to look at it without growling and going to bite. What actions should I take to carefully, and safely remove it without hurting him?

Let him calm down, then use a bit of olive oil or vegetable oil on a cotton ball. Gently dab the adhesive side of the tape to remove it. You may need to give Champ a few breaks if he gets agitated. You can use treats to distract him during the removal process.
