Poor raccoon is absolutely terrified of fireworks

It's okay, little trash panda.

The Fourth of July weekend wasn't a time of celebration for everybody.

Redditor Kentkirk uploaded this photo on Wednesday of an adorable raccoon seeking shelter from all the firework festivities.

The cutie found a safe space on Kentkirk's front porch behind a large stone block.

Redditors noted that it looks like the little raccoon is about to set up shop.

But of course, people were all about the cuteness.

Maybe this furry friend will one day get over its fear of fireworks and become a real-life Rocket Raccoon.

Stay safe, trash pandas.
