Please read the instructions above before you answer, Antonio.

**As wierd as it is raccoons can actually drown a dog. Raccoons are strong enough to knock over a trash can that weighs 45 pounds. Adult raccons can be savage fighters if cornered. Few dogs can kill an adult raccon without suffering great damage from ripping teeth and claws. These types of dogs that are trained to attack raccons are called coon dogs. If a raccon is attacked in water, it will try to hold the dog's head underwater until it drowns in self defense.** [] []
