	I think it might be _The Puppies of Terra_, instead.  

	Star Trek, the Original Series, kind of satisfies the ``humans 
as raccoons'' idea from the perspective of the many nigh-omnipotent 
semi-cor****eal beings that enjoy watching Kirk's Crew do tricks as long 
as they don't steal the carpet [1] or the sandwiches [2], although 
there's not much made explicit about that.  (Some of them even do work 
to save endangered humans -- see the Preservers.)
