Raccoons can be very aggressive, despite their cute looks, and can kill a dog twice their size.
another writer--This is very true. First, raccoons are one of the most common wild animals to carry rabies, so make sure your pet is vaccinated. If it is bitten by a rabid animal it will die. Second, raccoons are very smart. It often happens that a raccoon will go into water, and then drown a dog that is following it. Dogs do not know how to hold their breath and are easily killed this way. Like many wild animals, they are a whole lot cuter on Christmas cards than they are in real life.
