A group of boaters in Maryland celebrating the Fourth of July helped a
juvenile raccoon that was frantically pleading for assistance.
To help the animal cling on while being rescued, a clever crew member
thought toss down a life jacket. They started tugging the raccoon back to
land while it was still holding onto the life preserver, then they gave him
to a zodiac to return to land.
One of the boaters, Peter, describes the incident on YouTube: "During the
early morning hours of July 4, 2016, one of our crew aboard our boat heard a
yelping sound and at first it seemed like birds overhead."
A little raccoon was treading water on the side of the boat many hours
after we first heard the call. We tossed it a life preserver to get on since
we didn't want to pull it out of the water, and we then pulled it to
land.
