Young Groundhog in our Toronto Garden

This young groundhog nibbled on chicory growing beside the driveway. We were very happy to see it. We hoped it would stay but it went across the road to a neighbour's garden. 1 July 2018. However it returned and we have sighted it several times since. The previous day, it ran into the carport where it rested and calmed down. It was bewildered, panting and very hot. At this time of year, young disperse from where they were born, or it it may have been scared away from its usual home.
