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! All the friends watching show a mix of concern and amusement for their furry visitor -- and in particular, their cheers of delight when the raccoon is back on its feet are comedy gold.
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.
Just another day in Mother Nature!.
