Founder of Digg Throws Raccoon Overhead To Save Dog

The general consensus is raccoons are angry little beasts and Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, isn't afraid of anything.

After hearing his elderly dog, Toaster, yelping in pain, Rose went to investigate outside. Surveillance video revealed a ticked off raccoon getting the best of the white standard poodle.

That was the raccoon's last mistake.

Kevin can then be seen leaping down the staircase, grabbing the raccoon and hurling the animal overhead down another flight of stairs. A second angle reveals a different perspective and it's this view that gives me doubt the raccoon survived his encounter with Rose.

On Saturday night, Rose tweeted this:

The video with both angles can be seen here:

No official word on the fate of the angry raccoon, but other than a few bites and claw marks, Toaster is okay.
