Translating from a children's book?

vote
Gosh, I can read the newspaper with 80% accuracy, but the first sentence on a children's book stumps me. I feel soooo smart now, haha xD
Can someone help me with this? For some reason I just can't figure it out.
Bueno, dormía hasta que alguien lo despertaba justo a la mitad de un ronquido. Alguien que venía a pedirle ayuda...
This means that I was sleeping until someone woke me up in the middle of snoring, and that person was someone who came to ask the sleeping person for help, am I right in assuming this? Lo despertaba is what's tripping me up here I think... Thanks~!

Maybe it is written about another person (third person is also "dormía"). Then the use of "lo" would make sense, too.

Well it *is* writing about a raccoon named Morris, so maybe you're right. Thank you ^^ - Saphire, Jul 30, 2013
