While raccoons are generally considered wild animals, after meeting the raccoon in the video below, you may be wondering why they're not considered pets more often.

In the state of Arkansas, it's legal to catch and own up to 6 wild animals to keep as pets, including raccoons.
According to ViralHog, this lucky raccoon lives with a miniature Australian Shepherd, another raccoon, and their dad in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

Their owner explained to ViralHog, "My little guy loves to play in the tub first thing in the morning. Afterwards, he gets dried off and then he gets into the sink that he naps in from time to time for a massage. Then he goes right off to sleep."
In the video shared below, you can see the raccoon enjoying the massage from dad and it's so cute! He's pampered with a full body massage and plenty of kisses as he relaxes in post-bath bliss.

In the end, Dad tucks the little raccoon into a towel to get all cozy for naptime. It certainly looks like a great life to be living!
