Mo. dog nurses raccoon after losing own puppy

O'FALLON, Mo.

Sasha lost one of her puppies during labor, so rescue workers gave her a raccoon to nurse.

The raccoon was found in a home in eastern Missouri.

Veterinarians said Sasha and the raccoon immediately formed a special bond.

Unfortunately, Sasha will soon have to part ways with the baby raccoon. The animal is expected to be weaned in a few weeks.

Then, it will go to a wildlife rescue center before being released back into the wild.
