A member of the public described the animal that had strayed into her barn, in Boughrood near Brecon, as having the face of a raccoon with long teeth and a short tail.
Danielle identified the animal as a raccoon dog, a species of animal native to East Asia that neither she or her colleagues had ever seen before. Another animal with the same description had also been seen locally. The partner of the raccoon dog was found in the same stable the next day.

RSPCA Inspector Danielle Baber said: "An RSPCA officer's life is never dull, but occasionally we come across highly unusual creatures. This handsome raccoon dog and his partner must have strayed from their owner in the Boughrood area and we'd like to hear from them immediately."

In Japan, there are idols of Raccoon Dogs (狸 Tanuki), only they're given massive testicles which are supposed to symbolize financial luck. There's even a song:
Tan Tan Tanuki no kintama wa,
Kaze mo nai no ni,
Bura bura
The raccoon's balls, even though there is no wind, are swaying to and fro.
Heh heh, I didn't know that!
