opportunity to me. They should have had the raccoon stop, listen to her, look at her, THEN follow her into the house. That is how it would have really happened. In real life, raccoons VERY smart and you can almost see them thinking. If they had added just that second of footage of the raccoon stopping and looking first, it would have been about 100 times funnier and more true to life. Still, it was a cute commercial. I will admit I still laughed every time I saw it.
