Farm Coon Becomes Walter Family Pet
A baby raccoon named Coonrod joins the Wayne Walter family near Princeton after Dan Walter found two youngsters in a barn. Mrs. Walter feeds, plays with, and cares for him, while Dan plans to sell the eventual pelt. Coonrod drinks milk and orange juice from a bottle, loves ice cream, and naps by day, despite a noisy start.
