Raccoon Playing With House Full Of Dogs Is Capturing Hearts Left and Right
Most of the time when we see videos of raccoons, we see them digging in the trash to find something to eat. We’ve even seen them knocking on people’s back doors to get a little treat. But believe it or not, raccoons can be more than just food scavengers.
It's legal to own a pet raccoon in 13 states. TikTok user @sadieeversole1 and family are one of the rare ones who do own a raccoon. The raccoon blends right in, hanging with the children and even the dogs. This September 24 clip will melt your heart instantly.
Shut the front door! We had to pinch ourselves to make sure we weren't dreaming. Don't worry, it's really real! This video made us want a pet raccoon even more than we already do. We've never seen raccoons interact with another animal like this, so it's nice to know they can get along with dogs.
Although, it is important to note that this family rescued the raccoon when he was just a baby. They didn't just randomly stick a raccoon into the family and hope for the best. The creator wrote in the comment section that they had to bottle-feed him, but other than that, he's been running around with the puppies for months. Aww! Their relationship is only going to grow stronger.
As adorable as this clip is, a lot of people are against keeping raccoons and other wild animals as pets. For starters, wild animals can cause serious injuries as they can bite, scratch, and kick. Plus, they can carry diseases. Wild animals are supposed to be kept in the wild. If you do find wildlife in need of saving, it's best to call a local wildlife refuge as they will have trained specialists to help.
