BENSHEIM, GERMANY — A not so slim rat will live to eat another day after getting rescued by a whole bunch load of rescue workers from getting stuck in a manhole cover.<br /><br />According to the BBC, animal rescuer Michael Sehr told local media, "she had a lot of winter flab and was stuck fast at her hip — there was no going forward or back."<br />Sehr is from the local professional animal rescue in Rhein Neckar[b] and was first on the scene, but Fatatouille was too much for him to handle, so he called in the big guns. <br />According to the local fire department, a whole mess of volunteer firefighters responded to the Sunday afternoon call. <br />The manhole cover was lifted up and propped up on wedges while Sehr went in and got Slim Shady free. <br />The team then did a quick photo shoot with Fats before releasing her back into the sewer. <br />The animal group posted the shots and the whole rescue video up on their Facebook page. <br />As for the rat, she said she's going to cut out carbs and maybe look into Atkins or Paleo, possibly some juice cleanses. But for sure—no gluten.
