Pizza Rat caught dragging a slice down the stairs

We love pizza and will go to great lengths for a good slice.

And so, apparently will rats—at least one tough New York City rat.

Capturing the imagination of those on the Internet Monday is a little video posted on YouTube by user Matt Little of a very determined rat dragging a slice of pizza down the steps of the First Avenue L subway station in Manhattan.

Of course, the slice is three times its size.  It reminds us of Charlotte's Web when Templeton the rat was rolling away the rotten goose egg.
