A kind and generous Dunkin’ employee handed a donut to a cute and obviously hungry raccoon.

Animals are some of the most fascinating and unique creatures on Earth. Their weird, cute and often hilarious antics are always worth a watch. When an animal is involved, even a domesticated one like a dog or a cat, always expect the unexpected. When you think you’ve figured out how an animal will react to certain people or in a specific environment, they’ll find somewhere to surprise you.

Everyone loves animals. Even if they don’t have a cat, dog, a rabbit or some other furry, four-legged creature at home, they likely still possess a soft spot in their heart for them. How could you not love animals?

Despite most people's love and appreciation for animals, a fair amount of people will avoid wild animals. It makes sense. We can never know how a feral animal like a raccoon might react to humans. At that point, it’s also about protecting ourselves from potential harm.

However, one person, a Dunkin’ employee, showed absolutely no fear when encountering a raccoon. A short video posted on social media caught the precious interaction between the two. The video, captured by someone waiting in the drive-thru at the popular donut and coffee establishment, shows the raccoon cautiously approaching the window. The people in the car cannot believe their eyes.

The cute raccoon continues to walk toward the drive-thru window and eventually stops, sits up and stares into the window. The animal is practically begging for a sweet breakfast treat.

Seconds later, a woman leans out the window with a donut in hand. She reaches out and down onto the pavement until her hand is inches from the wild animal. The raccoon reaches up, snags the donut from the employee’s hand and immediately starts enjoying its breakfast.

What a sweet and precious interaction!  However, the animal did scurry away before paying for the donut.
