Animal experts?

Yeah, I'm at a loss as well. I'm thinking racoon but I've never heard them make a noise like you describe. Have you considered calling animal control and reporting what happened? If it isn't a racoon or possum, they might want to check the area for something more...exotic? Sometimes people keep animals that they don't tell anyone about but let them loose when they get too large/dangerous. Might be better to be safe than sorry and at least make the report.

Hope the doggie is doing better. Poor guy.
