Although it’s been living in zoos for decades under a mistaken identity, the olinguito is now confirmed to be a new species of carnivore mammal related to that lovable trash can pest, the raccoon. Scientists were not sure what to name the species once they discovered it was new, but if it winds up in my yard with my dogs, it will be called “Dead”. Just a warning oh, furry carnivore, as you can see, the mutts take no prisoners.

Olinguito sounds like he should be an Italian raccoon.
Let us salute Frankie and Lulu, Great Protectors, the Scourge of Raccoons and Olinguitos Everywhere, Vermin Exterminators. If there is a Medal of Freedom for dogs, they should win it hands down.
Wait, that same loveable dog on the wicker throne is also a badass? Mighty well reared I doth think.
No the one on the porch is LuLu. Frankie is the one that shakes them to their unfortunate demise.She is the hero of the neighborhood and has enough rabies vaccine in her to last a lifetime
God love those racoon like thingys, if they mess with Frankie and Lulu!
Well, Frankie actually. LuLu starts trouble and Frankie goes in to defend her and well, it gets messy!
