Summary
Comic/Historian Dawn Brodey (HILF, The History Channel, "Cruel Hearts," The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory) lived on a houseboat in Minnesota for 9 years. One day, her dog started barking at something on the stern of the boat. It was a raccoon. A raccoon with half it's face torn off... Dawn was horrified, but found herself feeling empathy for the creature, so she called the Wildlife Animal Control.
