Amy Rosenbaum was woken up early Sunday morning by her dog after they heard strange noises coming from downstairs in their West Mesa home. “My heart dropped at first cause I thought somebody had broken into the house and when I saw the raccoon, I was like am I seeing what I’m seeing this is insane,” said Rosenbaum.

The unwelcomed raccoon was caught on camera after he came in through the doggy door and then took on his role like goldilocks, trying out their dog’s food, drinking the water, and resting on the couch before Rosenbaum scared it out. “It was nuts and I really didn’t know what to do. I never really had a raccoon in the house sitting on the back of my couch before, so this was new,” she said.
