A little raccoon found himself in big trouble on Wednesday, after getting his head stuck in a sewer drain at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Northampton, Massachusetts.

The local police department shared an image of the poor creature on Twitter

An animal control officer arrived on the scene, and with the help of a little cooking grease, the raccoon was freed.
