Fur Magic (1965)
“He tried to move, but he could only turn his aching head a little. And when he did that, he looked into the narrowed eyes of a mink swimming beside the raft to which he was bound. Those eyes were ringed with red paint, which added to the hatred in them.

Then the raft under Cory gave a leap forward as if hurled by the push of a new energ...y, bumped out of the water up and down over gravel and stones, adding to the aches in his helpless body.
