Choking Raccoon Saved By Michigan Man, Heroic Act Caught on Video

A Michigan man swooped in to save a raccoon from potentially choking to death — with the heroic act getting caught on video … and yes, it’s wild.

A guy named Bill Boski recently sprung into action out in Burton, MI — coming to the aid of the distressed critter by giving it some heavy pats on the back to dislodge a piece of cheese it was eating.

At first, it doesn’t look like Bill’s attempts are working on the raccoon, as it continues to gag — but when his pal suggests a lower approach … that finally seemed to do the trick!

Speaking to ABC 12, Boski said the raccoon wandered into his backyard, and after a while … he and his buddies realized it wasn’t going to attack and wasn’t a threat, so they left it alone and let it do its thing — namely, sniffing around and looking for grub.

However, when the raccoon rummaged through their trash and started munching on a chunk of cheese, it soon found itself in a bit of a pickle, rearing up and making strange noises … which the boys came out to investigate, only to discover the little dude needed a hand.

Doesn’t look like the raccoon minded the assistance — and since he didn’t turn around and bite anyone right away … ya gotta figure he might’ve even been pretty appreciative.
