Two days late on the reply, but in case there's any question of the friendliness of raccoons, no, they don't like you and they will fuck you up. If your dog gets hold of one, it's a trip to the vet for stitches. If you have one in your house, and you live in the U. S., I believe you want to call your state's Fish and Wildlife department or Department of Natural Resources, or summat.
He's eating all the mice up there from what I can tell, so I'll leave the fellow for now. Thanks for the advice. I've seen racoons fighting and they really fucked each other up good, so that's why I've been wary of them since.
