Anyone who has ever dealt with a real raccoon in the wild knows that this plot device is pure Disney bull, concocted by exactly the type of clueless "city folk" that Hank himself is frequently disparaging for their lack of real-world knowledge and experience. Wild raccoons, cute as they may be, are aggressive and vicious. They kill chickens in their coops and can kill a cat or small dog if they get it cornered. There's no way you'd ever be feeding one out of your hand. A more realistic story line would have been Bobby getting bitten by the raccoon and subsequently enduring a painful course of rabies shots as the consequence of his naivete and narcissism, which frankly, have been getting on my nerves lately.
