I remember when I was a kid the Disney movie “Rascal” (about a raccoon) came out and I (along with thousands of other kids) begged my parents for a pet raccoon. My dad then advised me that raccoons were widely known are carriers of rabies. He then told me what happens when you catch rabies. I've never gotten close to raccoon since.

That was made into a movie? I loved the book by Sterling North, one of my first juvenile books.
