Rascal by Sterling North (1991 Scholastic Trade Paperback Edition)

Many young boys have a dog as their constant companion. Eleven-year-old Sterling North has a raccoon named Rascal. Rascal and Sterling do everything together - from winning a pie-eating contest to fishing for trout in the Wisconsin forests. It would have been perfect - if only Rascal weren't so clever. The day comes when Rascal is too smart for his own good. Sterling must make a difficult choice - either cage his beloved pet or release him in the wild. A Newbury Honor Book. xiv + 15 through 189.
