 Woman, dogs treated after raccoon attack

by Mary Schley

A Carmel Valley resident needed emergency medical care early Monday morning after being attacked by a raccoon. Neighbors called 911 for the woman around 2:15 AM SEPTEMBER 24TH after she showed up on their doorstep bleeding and terrified, clad only in a T-shirt and underwear.

Elizabeth Kirkpatrick had been chased and repeatedly clawed and bitten by a raccoon that forced open a screen door to her Carmel Valley Ranch home in pursuit of her dogs.  "Around 2 am I woke up to an attack in my bedroom," she told the Pine Cone. The raccoon had gotten it's paw through a narrow opening in the screen door and pushed it open to go after her little 3 pound Schnorkie -- a schnauzer-Yokie mix. "I turned the light no, and the thing just launched itself at me."

Kirkpatrick said the animal was large, weighing 25 or 30 pounds, and that it charged her form about 5 feet away and then leaped up biting her just under the ribcage and scratching her legs as it lunged. Reacting without thinking, she hit it hard with her fist, and it bit her again on the hand.
"I ran through the door, and the raccoon chased me and jumped on me and bit me on the back. It scratched my legs," she said. "I ran to the neighbor's and started banging on the door. I was incoherent. They called 911."

There is more including a picture of Kirkpatrick and her dogs when the PDF loads properly by the way. The dogs and Kirkpatrick all survived the attack last week.
