Dramatic images have emerged showing the moment a mother saved her daughter from a vicious raccoon attack.
Schoolgirl Rylee MacNamara had been standing outside her family home in Connecticut, US, early on Friday when the raccoon came out of nowhere and attacked her.
Rylee had been waiting for her parentsto take her to school at the time, the UK’s Mirror reported.
The raccoon attacked her leg, sinking its claws into her foot as she tried to shake it off.
“I was going out to get on the bus and a raccoon was there and tried to attack me,” Rylee told local news site WFSB.
“It was wrapping its arms around my leg. It really hurt.”
Per Rylee’s request “show everyone what the racoon did” we are headed to get checked out for rabies following this unprovoked racoon attack. I can’t tell you how proud I am of this Brave girl!!
