We all love those fuzzy heart-warming stories about dogs who adopt other animals as their babies when they are in need. Well, Pumpkin the raccoon is here to give you another one! Found with a broken leg and abandoned at the base of a tree, Rosie Kemp and her daughter brought this baby animal into their home to nurse it back to health. This adorable creature bonded with their own dogs and soon she was a member of the family. Kemp says that, while she is a handful, she is intelligent and thinks she’s a dog, acting like the animals around her and playing just like a dog would. She is now a beloved member of the family and they can’t imagine their life without this adorable raccoon. It proves that love knows no bounds!
