An opportunistic chipmunk saw an appealing snack in the Barnett family garden in South Lake Tahoe, California.
Unfortunately, the rodent disregarded the netting placed around the spinach and became badly tangled in it.
Luckily, while Joe Barnett spotted the distressed chipmunk while sitting out on his porch.
The video uploaded to YouTube on July 22, shows Joe cutting the chipmunk free from the netting.
In the video, Joe can be heard saying to the anxious animal, “Almost there, don’t get re-tangled!” Credit: Joe Barnett via Storyful
