The raccoon dog is considered a primitive branch of the family canidae, or canines. A raccoon is a different species and is not related to the raccoon dog. However, the two look somewhat alike, especially in terms of their grizzled brown and black fur.
Raccoon dog fur is widely used in the clothing industry, and these animals are tortured by being skinned alive for their pelts. A compassionate shopper might refuse to buy garments trimmed with their fur, which is often intenionally mislabeled as "faux."
