Few things bring the internet together like lost animals.
A raccoon captured all of our hearts on Tuesday when it started scaling a high rise office building in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota. According to MPR News, the little guy got stranded on a building ledge on Monday, jumped to the roof of a two story office, and then started climbing up the walls of UBS tower.
After a harrowing two days, the MPR raccoon was safely captured, fed, and released in the suburbs on Wednesday.

The animal became an overnight star and soon had all of Twitter rooting for it. #mprraccoon is a trending hashtag in the United States.
Just look at the little guy!

Onlookers called Minnesota's state wildlife rehab center and St. Paul's animal control to beg them to help. According to the local fire department chief, it's probably too risky to send a human being out to save the raccoon, but a team set up live traps on the roof of the tower.
At this point, the little guy just has to make it to the top to get to safety.

Animal control experts placed "aromatic food" out on the roof, hoping the raccoon will follow the smell and be safely trapped. "Not much else to do but wait and hope," Nelson tweeted. "Fire officials say they can't in good conscience risk a life."

According to Tim Nelson, who's been doing humanity a favor and live updating everyone on the raccoon, the little guy is chilling on a ledge on the 23rd floor. The UBS tower has 25 floors, so the raccoon is almost at the roof.
You got this, MPR raccoon!
