Our adventure starts out with a young raccoon minding its own business and trying to score some food. The animal spots something very promising. The object in the distance is an open jar. The critter makes its way over. It passed the sniff test so the raccoon stuck its head through the opening. Then it happened. This wasn't dinner, it was a booby trap.

The raccoon struggled but couldn't free itself. It turned into a desperate situation. The time was 4 am so the neighborhood was very quiet. Who would witness the situation to help save the day? Even if someone saw the jar, who would take the chance to rescue a wild animal? All I could imagine is getting bit and catching rabies.

Luckily, it was a miracle. A neighbor saw the situation and called the police. When the officers arrived they were able to catch up to the raccoon and jar. Thinking on their feet, they were able to carefully hold down the animal and cut off the jar. The critter was free and uninjured. It was a happy moment between man and beast.
