Fantastic.
When it comes to selecting the most heroic raccoon in popular fiction, the list is quite extensive.
For example, you could make a case for Sly Cooper from the Playstation games, RJ from the animated film Over the Hedge, or the demolition expert, Rocket, that’s an instrumental part of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
If we were asked, we couldn’t give you an honest answer. Genuinely, we’re terrible at lying, just like Joey from Friends.
Well, there’s a new contender for the title of world’s most heroic raccoon after this animal jumped onto the hood of Officer Christopher Frabbiele’s van while he was on patrol in Colorado this Thursday.
After noticing the furry passenger, the police officer immediately slowed down and let the raccoon hop off.
Thankfully, these images were captured by the dashcam and shared for the whole world to see.
On a message to the official Colorado Springs Police Department Facebook page, they said :”Officer Frabbiele discovered that raccoons do come out at night and was pawsitively surprised when one ended up on his windshield as he was enroute to a serious injury accident. He found a safe place to pull over and snapped the other two photos of the hitchhiker.”
We love this.
