I found a raccoon lying in the middle of the road.
It seemed hurt, so I wrapped it in my clothes.
Then I put it in my car.
My wife and I took it to the vet.
The doctor checked it and took an X-ray.
Luckily, it wasn't injured — it just had heatstroke.
The vet cooled it down.
It slowly came around, and I could tell my wife adored it.
We brought it home and fed it some food.
It curled up in my arms like a little kid.
It got sleepy not long after.
The next day, I gave it a bath.
It was so cute, staring right at me the whole time.
I set up a little bed for it.
But it loves climbing.
Sometimes it even climbs up onto the roof.
Everyone in my family is totally fond of it.
