Raccoon attacks prompt officials to urge residents to get their pets rabies shots
CBS2’s Meg Baker spoke to the dog’s owner on Tuesday.
Twelve-year-old Tilly has a cast on his leg after a terrifying attack last week during the day on Waterwitch Avenue in Highlands.
“I heard screams of pain,” Elizabeth Dellapietro said.
Dellapietro said she ran outside to see her 10-pound dog with a raccoon attached to it. A neighbor behind her witnessed it, too.
“I peeked my head over. There is a raccoon with a full grip on the dog’s arm, wouldn’t let go for about 30 seconds. We were all screaming,” Kali Owens said.
