Where the Red Fern Grows

I was riding my bike at the Astigo Park with all our dogs, the poms and Charlie keep up, staying right on my wheel, drafting and barking. Lucy zig-zags across the path, running at top speed, totally insane. Anyway, I came around a corner and much to my surprise, was a full grown raccoon, the little bugger surprised me so bad, I slammed on the brakes and almost flipped over the bars. The Raccoon held his ground and hissed at me, out of nowhere came Lucy, growling like nothing I'd ever heard - she hit the raccoon full speed picked him up in her jaws and threw him about 15 feet. Then she proceeded to fight the raccoon, at this time, the other 3 dogs joined the fight, taking turns lunging, barking and generally cheering on Lucy, I had to tackle her and hold her with all my might while the raccoon lumbered off, injured. Lucy is fine, I think. Once she calmed down, she seemed totally unfazed. I bathed her and then looked her over for injuries, none presented themselves. All this happened before 8am this morning.
