A Kentucky nurse did a daring rescue with an unexpected "masked" patient - she saved a raccoon. A baby raccoon had gotten drunk off fermented peaches after falling into a dumpster outside of Kentucky Mist Moonshine in Whitesburg. Misty Combs sprang into action and started performing CPR on the furry creature.
The raccoon rescue even made the local news. (WATCH)

The Narrator (@Fight_Club_Lad) ~ Drunk trash panda who lived because of help from humans was the Monday story I never knew I needed ... 🦝🥃🤣👌
Fanatic (@crusade_enjoyer) ~ “Kentucky nurse performs CPR on a drunk raccoon” is my new favorite headline.
Commenters wonder just how many distillery dumpster-diving animals there are out there on any given day.
WELL ... about dat ... da story of how ribit met Stacey has some similarities, don'tcha know. There wuz this day in Toad Suck when da frog king kinda fell into this big ol' barrel of beer and he din't have any choice but to drink his way out of it, ya see. Well, he wuz layin' there ... unconscious and hardly breathin' ... and da queen started slowly walkin' (in Georgia, they call it "sashayin'") to go get his CPAP machine ... when da Black Hole of Calcutta came along and sprang ... uh ... well ... "skipped, tripped, and fell" ... into action! Stacey saved ribit's life that day ... by immediately squeezing all of dat devil's brew right outta da frog king's body ...

Da rest is history!
Epilogue: da queen never did return wif ribit's CPAP machine. They found her down at her pettifogger's office goin' over da royal last will and testament.
