Choking Raccoon Saved By Michigan Man, Heroic Act Caught On Film

A guy named Bill Boski recently sprang into action in Burton, Michigan – coming to the aid of the distressed creature by giving it heavy pats on the back to dislodge a piece of cheese it was eating.

At first, it doesn’t seem like Bill’s attempts are working on the raccoon, as he continues to retch – but when his friend suggests a more base approach… it finally seemed to do the trick!

All the friends watching show a mixture of concern and amusement for their four-legged visitor – and in particular, their cheers of joy when the raccoon is back on its feet is comedy gold.

Talk to ABC12Boski said the raccoon wandered into his yard and after a while … he and his buddies realized it wasn’t going to attack and wasn’t a threat, so they let it quiet and let him do his job — namely, sniffing and looking for food.

However, when the raccoon rummaged through their trash and started nibbling on a piece of cheese, he soon found himself in a bit of trouble, rearing around and making strange noises… which the boys went outside to investigate , to find out the little guy needed a helping hand.

It doesn’t seem like the raccoon cared about the help – and since he didn’t turn around and bite anyone right away… you have to understand that he may even have been very grateful .
