A team of firefighters heroically rescued a distressed fat rat that was trapped in a sewer grate

• In Germany, a fat rat got trapped in a sewer grate, the BBC reported.
• It took several volunteer fire-fighters to rescue the animal.
• Animal rescuers said the rat likely got stuck because of its size.
• Pictures and video of the rescue mission look intense.
• The rodent has returned to her glorious sewer home.

On Sunday, animal rescuers in Germany sprung into action when they caught wind of a rat that was stuck in a manhole cover, the BBC reported.

So, one might ask, how does a rat get stuck in manhole cover? Well, animal rescuer Michael Sehr had some ideas, the BBC reported.

"She had a lot of winter flab and was stuck fast at her hip - there was no going forward or back," Sehr explained to a German outlet.

And thus, she was trapped. Just look at her face!

There's a missed opportunity for some cat.

Good on them. I would try to help her, too. Suffering is suffering.

One Scot with a shovel could've done the job faster,
cheaper & better than a whole team of German firemen.
And no, I won't divulge any trade secrets.
