Boaters Rescue Drowning Raccoon After Hearing Its Cries For Help

Out for a relaxing boat ride on Independence Day weekend quickly took a turn.

These guys needed to spring into action to save a life.

They found a raccoon clinging to life right near their boat, so they threw it a life preserver. It had been crying for hours when they finally rescued it.

Here’s the story in their own words:

“During the early morning hours of July 4, 2016, one of our crew aboard our boat heard a yelping sound and at first it sounded like birds overhead,” writes Peter, one of the boaters, on YouTube. “Several hours later we finally found the source of the cry — a young raccoon treading water on the side of the boat. Not wanting to pick it up out of the water, we threw it a life preserver to climb upon and then towed it to land.”

Thank you for saving this little baby!
