A Woodstock, Georgia Pug<\/strong> is lucky to be alive after suffering a violent Raccoon<\/a><\/strong>attack. The Pug was playing in his backyard when the Raccoon aggressively pounced on the pup. The Pug\u2019s human came running out to rescue the dog, only to end up getting into a physical fight with the Raccoon himself. The whole incident was caught on video and shared with a local news station, leaving viewers shocked. Video of the attack quickly went viral, with commenters commending the dad for his heroics.<\/p>\n Fox 5 Atlanta<\/a> shared the story in a televised news report, followed by a social media post. In the video, the Raccoon attacks the Pug, wrestling it through the backyard while tearing at its coat. Dad comes running onto the scene, first attempting to kick the Raccoon off the Pug, only to find himself off-balance and falling to the ground. He rolls a few feet before recovering his footing and then attempts to pull the wild critter off his beloved dog.<\/p>\n Dad then resorts to trying to separate the Pug and the Raccoon with a long stick but has no luck. Eventually, Mom runs out to help but also finds herself sliding down the sloped backyard. The brave pair ultimately frees the Pug and safely gets the Raccoon to exit.<\/p>\n \u201cI love people who care about dogs,\u201d commented one viewer after seeing the video of the attack.<\/p>\n Another shared, \u201cI feel sorry for both the dog and raccoon,\u201d echoing the sentiments of many.<\/p>\n \u201cOh my goodness! How scary,\u201d shared another.<\/p>\n Some commenters were quick to place blame on the humans. In the report, Dad mentions he noticed a family of Raccoons living in his backyard and approached to get some video. That\u2019s when the Raccoon attacked his dog and chaos ensued.<\/p>\n Ultimately, Raccoons can be aggressive and sometimes carry rabies, so it\u2019s best not to approach them. It\u2019s also important to note that with any wild animal family, from Raccoons to Bears, a mother will quickly become aggressive to protect her young.<\/p>\n It\u2019s entirely possible this harrowing incident started because a mama Raccoon felt her babies were being threatened. If that\u2019s the case, who could blame her?<\/p>\n Related: Savage Crows Rip Out Rapunzel’s Hair at Disneyland in Disturbing Viral Video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade Pets<\/a> on Apr 3, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
