Woman saves pup from drowning by raccoon

Woman saved her pup from being drowned by raccoon: http://thechronicleherald.ca/novasco...en-dog-raccoon

As the owner of a Brittany, I have no doubt it would do the same thing. Hard lesson learned.

I remember hunting with beagles years ago when a racoon lured a beagle into a river. At that time I was in my teens and yelled to my father that a coon had one of dogs in the creek. His responses was "Shoot the first head that pops up" My dad knew the coon would be on top. Yes we shot the first head that popped up and the dog returned to hunt many a rabbits. It was a lesson I have never forgotten.

that is interesting. thanks for sharing

Interesting, but I think the guy in BC that just punched out a cougar to save his wiener dog takes the cake. Surprised it hasn't been posted yet - its been all over the news.
