    I had a groundhog when I was a kid. Her mother and siblings had gotten hit on the road outside our house. It was like having a guinea pig with the intelligence of a dog. When she got older, we gave her to a guy who worked with my dad that had a big farm out in the country and we would go over and visit every now and then and bring her bananas. She always remembered us and would come from under the shed where she lived to get belly rubs and even show us her babies when she had them. Such awesome little animals...
