Raccoons are usually pretty fearless, but one little guy is too scared to jump in a swimming pool after his brother. He nervously paces and reaches his hands out to his brother, trying to get him to come back to safety.

Mashable reports,

Waylon the raccoon is very concerned when his brother Willie takes a dip in the pool. Doesn’t he know that pools are dangerous? Waylon desperately tries to rescue his brother, but is too nervous to get in the water himself.

Willie, on the other hand, is blissfully unaware of Waylon’s concerns, and is having a blast practicing his doggy-paddle … er, raccoon-paddle.

Watch the adorable video below. Bet you can’t watch it just once.
