My friend was at home working in his garage with his brother. His dog started barking and snarling outside in the neighbors yard. They both investigated the cause.

Racoon and his dog were facing off. The dog is 80 pounds mixed shepard with hair raised on back. Upon my friend coming out to the situation the dog bolted behind him.

The racoon then went up on its hind legs and then charged my friend. He kicked it in the head and sent it back about 8 feet . It recovered and ran at him again which he kicked it back about the same distance.

However his brother had already grabbed a baseball bat watching this unfold. And was there to bash its head in before it could recover again.

I would like to mention the racoon had its mouth open the whole time intent to bite. I suspect it had rabies
