This is the story of a rescued Bahamian raccoon called Pumpkin and her two best friends, rescued dogs, Toffee and Oreo. Pumpkin likes to watch TV, eat meals at the dinner table but mostly, likes to cuddles with her canine siblings, seemingly unaware that she isn't one of them. With over 1.5M followers, their instagram page is filled with gorgeous photos. Here is their story.
The little raccoon was very weak and had a broken hind leg. It soon became clear to the Nassau, Bahamas resident that the little animal's mother wasn't coming back for it. The nearby Bahamas Humane Society was unable to take in an orphaned raccoon, so Rosie Kemp and her daughter, Laura Young, took in the little raccoon themselves. With the guidance of friends who had experience with raccoons, the family cared for her and named her Pumpkin.
Here, for example, she enjoys a plate full of edamame for breakfast.
