The other day, we showed up at a store in Missouri to service it. I went to dump some litter that we had collected into the dumpster and noticed that the dumpster was occupied.
This little Raccoon was trapped. Obviously, it had come in looking for a quick meal but was then unable to escape. I am not sure how long it would have lasted without food and water in the hot Missouri sun, or if it would have got dumped out of the dumpster into a garbage truck before it perished, but I wasn’t about to let it have the chance to find out.
@Bluerthangreen got a shovel out of the truck and helped slide the Raccoon towards the top of the dumpster. I got something to lower in for it to grab onto.
Soon, the Raccoon was out of the dumpster looking to find its way back into the woods. I was impressed with how agile it was.
The Raccoon got back to its business and we got back to ours, but we were glad that we had the chance to help it out.
