Heartwarming footage has emerged from the US of a man rescuing a family of stricken raccoons from a dumpster. <br /><br />The video, filmed in Florida on August 28, shows Karl using a wooden pallet in an attempt to coax the little critters out of the skip. <br /><br />According to the filmer, it was an extremely hot day and the dumpster was really warm so she and her husband felt they had to rescue the raccoons. <br /><br />"I guess they got in there at night looking for food and shelter and couldn't get out afterwards," she later wrote online.
