A fat rat got stuck in some bad luck when it jammed itself in the hole of a sewer grate last week.
A local animal rescue organization in Germany named Berufstierrettung Rhein Neckar posted on Facebook that it was unable to free the rodent, so it called the fire department.
Fire officials wound up having to lift the grate in order to pull out the helpless animal.
The rat was unharmed.
When the whole ordeal was done, two little girls who initially found the rat showed rescuers their appreciation by gifting them a drawing of the rodent.
