Dogs are super sweet and trustworthy and gentle and loving
and funny and ... All right. Stop me!
And koalas are cute!
Can you imagine at home seeing these two?
Where is the party located?
In Australia only!
With her Golden Retriever, Asha, Kerry McKinnon loved her
life. But a surprise waited for her one morning!
Her husband yelled her to come, and when she went outside,
Asha was sitting with a baby koala atop her back!
The family lives in Strathdownie, Western Virginia,
Australia, and during the winter, the morning temperatures could reach around
41F degrees, which is too cold for the tiny koala.
Kerry admitted that she was shocked at first, so she wasn’t
very supportive of Asha:
“I just burst out laughing. Poor Asha didn’t know what to
think; she just kept looking at me with such a confused look.
She kept looking back at the koala, but she didn't try to
get him or something away from her. She was glad that she let him snuggle into
her.
Kerry claims dogs have a maternal instinct, and for saving
the little koala, her loving dog was lauded as a hero.
Kerry replied:
Asha certainly saved the life of the koala by keeping him
warm. He'd have died out there if he had been left all night alone. A fox or
whatever may have taken the poor thing, too.
