There are times when we feel beaten up by the world around us and we might wonder if there is anything left to smile about. Although we might feel that way at times, I’m here to tell you that we do have reason to smile and if you look in the right direction, you might just smile from the heart. That is sure to be how you feel when you watch the following video because it shows us all that things are still ok with the world. It might even inspire you to feel good for a while!
The video is a simple one but it is so adorable, we just had to share it with you. It is of a man who calls himself the ‘Raccoon Whisperer’, and that is probably the best name for him. Actually, he is James Blackwood, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable, and he has a kind heart for animals, especially raccoons. It comes through loud and clear when he went out into the freezing cold temperatures to feed some of his wild furry friends a basket of hot dogs. There were some 30 raccoons waiting for him.
Blackwood is more than familiar with the cold weather that hits that part of the world. The raccoons are also familiar with it, so they waited (sometimes impatiently) for their turn to have a snack before the really cold weather came in.
He said, “It was snowing with freezing temperatures and the raccoons were super hungry and knew they had to stock up for the long winter. …There was eight pounds of hot dog gone look and two bags of grapes gone.”. Several of the raccoons came back over the next few nights and we have the videos to show to you as well. Enjoy them below:
