Three red fox cubs who became trapped in a drain have been set free with the aid of washing liquid.
The creatures were trapped in a grate in Plainfield, Connecticut when their mewing was heard by nearby residents, Rex Features reports.
Firefighters, police and an animal welfare officer arrived on the scene but did not have the appropriate tools to cut the metal to release the cubs.
Vaseline and corn oil proved ineffective in freeing the foxes, but animal control officer Karen Stone freed them with the aid of washing up liquid.
"Except for being a little soapy, I think they were okay," she said.
