A coyote got stuck between two walls in an alley in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, and it could not work its way free.
Animal Care and Control officers spent hours trying to reach the frightened animal. They eventually freed it and relocated it to a wooded area outside the city.
Pittsburgh Public Safety used the rescue to remind residents that coyotes can live in cities, suburbs, and parks as well as in more rural places.
The ending was a quiet one: a wild animal back in a suitable habitat, and a city team ready to help when urban life and wildlife collide.
