Grateful Heart: Rescued Raccoon Gives Back by Comforting and Helping Heal Patients at a Veterinary Hospital

Doctors must be extremely busy and work hard, as they must provide appropriate treatment to patients one after another every day. What’s more, the other person is an animal. I think they probably want one or two assistants, or one or two animals.

But it seems Yasha was more than just a raccoon. It is said that she began to actively help Alexei, although she did not know whether she felt indebted to Alexei for helping him or not.

Yasha was engaged in healing the animals that came to the veterinary hospital. They may have thought that the same animals could understand each other.

When Yasha was found, she was malnourished and not in good health, but thanks to Alexei’s skill, she quickly regained her health.

Then, one day, Alexei took Yasha to the hospital, and before she knew it, she started interacting with the animals that came to the hospital, and started showing off the qualities of a good nurse.

Yasha says she naturally adapted to the hospital without anyone telling her what to do.

Yasha is especially good at working with dog patients. She seems to be a very popular nurse with the dogs. It is said that cat patients are often wary of this.

Yasha gives hugs and massages to nervous patients, and for the frightened dogs at the hospital, just having her by her side can be reassuring.

Before we knew it, people started coming to see Yasha, who had become a hot topic in the local area. For Alexei’s hospital, Yasha seems to have become not just a beckoning cat, but a beckoning raccoon.

Yasha, who was once a stray raccoon who was found malnourished, now seems to be living a fulfilling raccoon life both at work and in private.

However, raccoons are naturally ferocious and are subject to extermination in some states in the United States. In Japan, they are recognized as pests and breeding them is basically prohibited.
