My friend Romain contacted me from deepest Europe in July 2007to say

Hi Andy,

Have a look and see what we (my son Sacha & I) discovered when making a control walk along the meadows where Sacha holds his horses and donkeys. We found a young baby Raccoon who was seeking shelter amongst all our horses. We took him to a vet and he estimates his age up to 3 months and probably abandoned by his mother. We try to breed him with milk and fruits until he can take care of himself within 3 or 4 months and then we shall free him again. He is a real wild animal and he starts fighting our dogs when he is eating. Hope that we shall have success to make him pass the next crucial 3 months of his young life ....

..... well Raccoon has survived as you can see by the December photos!  Well done Sacha, Romain ...... and well, whatever he/she is called!
