"All right, so we got a mama and her two babies stuck in a dumpster."
Somebody's trapped in that dumpster!
Are those...
Wait.
Raccoons?
In a dumpster?
Raccoons already got rescued from a dumpster.
And rescued from a garage...
...and from a basement...
...and from a roof...
...and from a backyard!
When will they learn?
Okay, raccoons, it's time to get you out of that dumpster.
Again.
A mama and two babies are down there.
And they really do need help.
They seem too nervous to leave on their own.
But it's trash day.
If they don't get out soon, they'll get dumped into a trash truck!
But this rescuer isn't gonna let that happen.
He's gonna do whatever it takes to save these raccoons.
He brought special rescue equipment to help him.
That stick has a rope on the end.
He wants to get it around the mama to pull her up.
But it has to go around her belly...
...and she is not moving.
He tries to nudge her with the stick.
Whoa!
Oh, he's almost got it!
Okay, he got her belly...
...and up she goes!
I think the mama wants to take pizza with her.
The mama is out!
Now, the two babies.
Just like the mama, they'll need some nudging.
They're peeking up!
Ah, too slow.
They really don't wanna leave that dumpster.
Must be all that pizza down there.
Mmm, trash pizza!
All right, the stick doesn't seem to be working...
...what's he going to do now?
What?
They did not like that.
But now they're moving!
And he can get the rope around the first baby.
"You'll be out with your family in one second, bud."
And she's out!
One more to go.
He's the one that growled.
I don't think he's mad anymore.
He seems to know that the rescuer is there to help.
He lets the rope go around him...
...and he's out!
That one rescuer saved a whole family of raccoons.
It wasn't easy...
...but when an animal is in trouble, you never give up.
Even if they're raccoons that get stuck everywhere!
Actually, I would like to send a message to all raccoons.
Stop it!
Stop getting stuck places!
It's crazy how many places you keep getting stuck.
Stop it!
And if you don't...
...we'll rescue you anyway!
Because, well, that's what animal rescuers do!
But I'm going to be mad about it!
Remember if you see an animal in trouble...
...do not try to rescue them by yourself.
Ask an adult family member for help.
My mom helps me with the dogs I rescue.
