The chubby rodent was found Friday morning in Danvers while a couple of local women walked their dogs.
Police officers from Danvers and nearby Wenham came to the rescue, alongside workers from the local public works departments.
The woodchuck's furry head peeked through the impossibly small hole in the grate, its face dazed while workers figured out what to do.
Barbieri and his team picked up the grate — the groundhog dangling by its neck — and moved it to the side of the road.
The rodent finally managed to wiggle itself free, fell back on the ground and ran away.
'He just needed some leverage,' said an eyewitness.
Cops say they don't often rescue animals in Danvers, a suburb some 25 miles north of Boston — but this isn't their first time, either.
'I know they rescued some ducklings earlier this spring that fell into a sewer grate,' Sarah Slavin, of the Danvers PD, told the Boston Globe.

Dear men/ womens,
ReplyDeleteMany people are interested in increasing their storage space or creating a new feature for the exterior of their property. Sheds are popular choice as they are extremely versatile. However, those who have little DIY experience worry about siting their new shed and constructing sturdy base. This need not be stressful as building a base for your shed is actually quite a simple task which is usually easy for one person to complete.
