(Terri Baker Fancote)<\/p>\n<p>A groundhog somehow found a way to get stuck under Newport&#8217;s Taylor Southgate Bridge. It&#8217;s believed that the furry friend had been stuck there since at least last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Terri Baker Fancote was able to spot it and captured pictures to raise awareness of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, it&#8217;s believed that the groundhog fell from the bridge&#8217;s walkway. Newport Public Works crews were called to the scene to set up a trap. It took a couple tries, but the groundhog finally went in.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"A team of humans came to the rescue when one of humanity's furry friends found itself in a bad situation.
