While it’s quite common to hear of raccoons feeding from bird feeders, outdoor pet food dishes and trash cans, we ran into something a little different this week.  Apparently this guy had a different interpretation of “coon-dog” and decided to make use of a doggy door to get into the house for the cat food.

Who Is Eating Rover's Food?
