    Poor little guy! Even though raccoons really are (can be) pests, especially in the city, I can’t believe no one called an animal services organization. Surely Iowa City has a professional who could have *safely relocated Ricky.

    Awww!! I feel so bad for him, all huddled over. I hope he told all of the other raccoons his amazing story!
