[The raccoon] was successfully un-canned and released, while momma kept a close eye on what I was doing from the bushes 10 feet away. (To sign up for New London breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

This little guy thanked me for liberating him by growling at me, charging at me, and nearly causing me to fall on my butt while backing up and trying to keep an eye on momma, who was upset that I made her little angel angry. I really need some coffee now.

Please dispose of your trash properly, and make sure cans and dumpsters are closed.
