This is the true story of Horace, the Raccoon. Its message is one of living peacefully with wild animals in cities and towns and how to treat wild animals that live near us. Horace continues to come to the Stewart's deck every night, when called, for a bowl of tasty food that does him no harm, proving that we can live peacefully together. Getting to know and understand one another is often all it needs to enjoy the company of those that are different from ourselves.
