Bravery comes in many forms.
Officer Taylor with the Rochester Police Department responded to a call on Sunday of a baby skunk in dire need of some assistance. Unfortunately, the little animal got its head stuck in a yogurt container and was unable to free itself. Fortunately, Officer Taylor came to the rescue.

Officer Taylor was called to the 400 block of W. Third St. this morning for a baby skunk with its head stuck in an empty yogurt container. Luckily baby skunks can't spray like adults! Well done Officer Taylor!Posted by Rochester Police on Sunday, August 2, 2015
The police department posted the clip to its Facebook page and informed the public that baby skunks are incapable of spraying. However, judging by Officer Taylor's reaction, he didn't know that fact, or he was just playing it safe.
Either way, the baby skunk was rescued from the yogurt container and the police department later said that the skunk safely scampered off to find its family.
