Raccoons are mammals (Procyon lotor), related to the giant panda. They have mask-shaped dark fur around their eyes, striped tails, and very capable front paws that are used as hands. They are native to North American forests, but are also found in the mountains, marshes, and other areas. Most notably, they have become scavengers in rural and suburban areas around human cities.
Because our cities destroyed their homes, raccoons out in the wild will catch food at rivers or something like that, but urban raccoons have to find food that we throw away, pet's food dishes, bird feeders, ect.
A raccoon dog is just a dog that hunts raccoons ( also known as coon dogs). All dogs are just the same animal, but selectively bred for particular characteristics. The names usually refer to their origins or jobs, not to relationships to other species.
Raccoons are not primarily scavengers by nature. However, a raccoon will, as any animal, gladly accept carrion or garbage as food. It is a free meal that they have to expend very little energy to obtain.
The word "raccoon" was adopted into English from the native Powhatan term, as used in the Virginia Colony. It was recorded on Captain John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William Strachey as arathkone.

No, the eye of a raccoon (or any other animal, for that matter) does not glow in the night. It's an optical trick that makes the eyes of animals appear to glow in the dark, and it's related to the method used to photo graph them. See the related question below for more information.
Most nocturnal birds are birds of prey, such as owls, but there are some insect-eating nocturnal birds called nightjars which may visit a bird feeder occasionally. Bird feeders may also be visited in the night by rodents, squirrels, or raccoons.
