“What is he doing? Are they gonna give him a donut?” Guptil continued as one of the shop’s employees opened the drive-thru window. “Oh, they’re gonna give him a donut? Oh, my God! Do it. Throw him the donut.”
The video shows the employee leaning toward the raccoon with a frosted donut in hand. The raccoon reaches out and gladly accepts the meal before quickly rushing to the bushes to secure the snack.
“Oh, my God,” Guptil laughs in disbelief at the end of the video.
Many users praised the adorable and funny video, suggesting Dunkin’ Donuts use it in their future ad campaigns, the New York Post reported.
