"An Alaska woman has drawn praise after she expertly removed an opossum by the scruff of its neck from a crowded bar in Brooklyn.

The lost marsupial became scared of the crowd after it wandered into Temkin’s Bar in New York City’s Greenpoint neighbourhood and began running around looking for a way out.
Viral video of the incident then showed Sara Fulton, a native of The Last Frontier state, step forward, telling a friend, “Hold my phone. I’m from Alaska.”

She then picked up the animal with minimal fuss and escorted it outside to cheers from drinkers, before letting it go.

“I was outside hanging out with my friend outside the bar, the door was open, and then all of a sudden we see this critter run in, and we looked at each other, and we just were like, ‘Was that a dog? Is that a rat?’” she told NBC New York. “We both looked at each other and were like, ‘That was too big to be a rat! It has to be an opossum.’”"
