One moonlit night, as Oliver strolled through the picturesque streets, his curiosity led him to a peculiar sight. There, amidst the shadowy alleys, he spotted a mischievous raccoon named Rusty. Unlike Oliver, Rusty cared little for appearances. His fur was unkempt, and his paws were often stained with the remnants of his trashy adventures. Yet, there was an undeniable charm about Rusty that intrigued Oliver.
