Raccoon dogs are a species native to Asia, who in the wild seem to enjoy having a mate or friend close by. These social animals live in pairs or small groups, and the males are helpful fathers, bringing food to their pregnant mate as well as helping to raise the young. Raccoon dogs suffer and die for their fur in intensive confinement operations in China and Finland, and their fur has been widely misrepresented as fake fur or as a different species.
