He’s Tired

Considerate Man

A Perfect Home
YouTube, Key West Kayak FishingWhen the raccoon woke up, he realized he was already on land. At first, it seemed like he didn’t want to leave the kayaker who rescued him, but he couldn’t take him home either. Good thing, he’s found the perfect place for his new little friend. The kayaker said, “Big Pine Key is a wild deer sanctuary with not a lot of people and cars so I think he will be happy there.”
