Hope, ME — June 15, 2017 — Rachel Borch, 21, stands along an overgrown area of the trail she runs along Alford Lake, much like the section where she was recently attacked by a rabid raccoon while jogging near her home in Hope. The raccoon lunged at her and bit her on the thumb, not letting go. Borch drowned the animal in a puddle.
