Raccoons may look like cute animals, but they can be vicious especially against other animals like dogs.
I used to live in a house in Greenwich that had a raised porch. Every night during the summer two racoons used to fight like mad under there. My wife (at the time) and kids were way freaked out for a long time until they got used to them. I used to try to keep them out, but they would just get back in somehow and fight some more.Raccoons may look like cute animals, but they can be vicious especially against other animals like dogs.
I had a Siamese cat when I was younger. He wasn't long and lanky, like the typical Siamese, in fact he looked like a miniature puma, but more muscular. Meanest thing I've ever seen to this day. He actually ran up a telephone pole and beat up a raccoon.I used to live in a house in Greenwich that had a raised porch. Every night during the summer two racoons used to fight like mad under there.

Those are some mean bastiges!
My first close up encounter with a raccoon was several years ago. I pulled into my driveway after grocery shopping. I loaded up with groceries, shut my car door and look down and a raccoon was just walking right by me about 2-3 feet away from my feet. He stopped, looked up at me for a couple of seconds, then continued walking at the same speed.I used to live in a house in Greenwich that had a raised porch.
