Some Michigan Men have gone viral after a video shows them saving a raccoon choking on cheese! Now, the video is taking off online!

The adorable video very easily could have gone a different direction. Thankfully, these guys were around and recognized the raccoon was in distress and were able to save the day! Here’s more on the trending story below.

Michigan Men Go Viral After Saving Raccoon Choking On Cheese

It happened in Burton, Michigan and now Tyler Whalen, Bill Boski, and John Ptaszenski are now heroes! The three Michigan Men have now been seen by millions saving a raccoon choking on cheese. It’s really impressive to watch the video because they handled the situation perfectly. It’s cool that they were willing to step up and try to help save its life because if they didn’t the animal likely wouldn’t have survived!

Not everyone would be willing to put themselves in that situation to assist. You never know if the raccoon could have rabies or some sort of disease or it could be aggressive. Animals don’t always know that you’re trying to help them and there’s no way to communicate that and sometimes it can backfire. However, this time it all went according to plan.

In the video, you can see Boski tapping the little animal’s back as it was choking until you finally see it fly out of the raccoon’s mouth. According to Click On Detroit, the men have decided to nickname the raccoon “Rocket” after the character from Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Honestly, I don’t know if I’d be able to approach a wild animal like they did! As much as I would want to help you also have to consider your own safety! I know little to nothing about raccoons and it would be a scary moment for me. Would you be willing to help? Have you ever been in a situation like this? Check out the trending video from Click On Detroit below.

7 Wildest Animals Caught On Tape Stories From Dave & Chuck The Freak

First, it’s not always the predators that are behaving in ways that end up in the news. It can be the smallest and most innocent of animals…or, sure, it could be a violent predator. Sometimes, the animals are behaving a specific way completely unprovoked, other times they’re responding to something a person has done. If you mess around with wild animals, there’s a good chance you’re going to find out why that’s a terrible idea.

Typically, these kinds of endings can be avoided. A good way to not end up the star of a news story alongside a wild animal? Keep a safe distance. You’ll notice in most of these stories and videos, the problems could have been avoided if people just used a little bit of common sense.
