All I can say is that must've been one big-@$$ raccoon to leave a turd that size! He'd be more than a match for most large dogs. Tangling with a large boar raccoon is about like wrestling with a live chainsaw.
Agreed! Just another reason to try to get the cats in before dark, because even the trees would be no escape from him.
And I think a dog would not be left unmarked. I hope he's just after berries and apples and doesn't start checking out the barn.
