Watch this heartwarming clip where a woman paddles out on her paddleboard to rescue a raccoon struggling to stay afloat in Lake Huron after it unexpectedly jumped from a boat into the open water.

Maddy Gaukroger, from Ontario, Canada, captured the incredible rescue while out on Lake Huron near Grand Bend with her friend, Kylie Fekete, a registered veterinary technician.

The pair were enjoying a day on the water when they suddenly discovered a raccoon had been hiding inside their boat. Startled, the animal crawled out and leapt into the lake, quickly becoming exhausted as it struggled to swim.

Without hesitation, they turned the boat around as Kylie grabbed her paddleboard and carefully approached the distressed raccoon. She guided the frightened animal onto the board before safely bringing it back to shore.

A user commented: "Sending you 40 million hugs, you wonderful person you."

Another one commented: "You are a legend, well done"
