Houston City Council Member Mary Nan Huffman was inside of her home on Tuesday January 7 when she noticed a raccoon who fell into her swimming pool struggling to get out of the water safely. Mary was able to save the raccoon that fell into her swimming pool by using a net to get the raccoon out of the swimming pool in her backyard and place the raccoon back on the deck where the raccoon whose gender was not released to the public went with its family members back to their home safely.

it's a little bit dangerous encountering the wild animal but, she did the great deed.
