With a bus full of passengers, a Vancouver bus driver stopped in the middle of the road, just to save a little raccoon from getting hurt.

A TikTok of the heartwarming moment was posted — giving the raccoon hero the credit he deserves.

The footage was captured by a passenger, who clearly appreciated the bus driver's act of kindness. It was posted on April 21 and it has taken up the internet by storm, gaining 145,000 views and 12,800 likes in just one day.

The super cute rescue happened near the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, B.C.

The person who posted the video said in the caption that they were on their way to work when the bus driver halted the bus to move the raccoon that was stuck on the road.

In the TikTok video, you can clearly see the bus driver use his hands to pick up the raccoon and gently move it to a grass patch off the road.

The raccoon actually just seemed to accept the stranger picking him up and didn't react at all.

The bus driver then gave the raccoon a little comforting pet before walking back to the bus, to continue the route.
