Lakeville, Minnesota – When officers with the Lakeville Police Department responded to a call about a potentially rabid raccoon, they didn’t expect to find an animal that was anything but frightening.
According to the department, the raccoon in question was “surprisingly friendly.”
Photos posted by the department show the little guy, lovingly dubbed Gerald, asking for treats, posing with an officer, and trying to get into a patrol car.
The police department said the affectionate raccoon was taken to a wildlife rehab facility because he was a bit too intrigued by humans:
Meet Gerald the raccoon 
—rescued by officers after he decided to act more like a K9 than a critter! He followed them around and even hopped into the squad car on command. 
Off to wildlife rehab center he goes!
