Golden Retriever Rescues Baby Koala in Australia in the Night |

On a cold morning in Australia, Asha the Golden retriever came back home with someone her family didn’t expect.

It was really early in the morning, and the family was shocked when Asha came back home and had a small, furry animal with her. When the dad saw it, he immediately cried out to Kerry McKinnon, his wife, to come and take a look.

McKinnon came running downstairs and was completely surprised by what she saw in the early morning; a tiny Koala clinging to her dog as if her life depends on it.

“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 looked a bit guilty when I came out to see what was going on. Her expression was hilarious.”

No one knows exactly how the pair ended up together, but the family expects that this baby Koala was lost from his family and has turned to the dog for warmth and safety, especially with the fires and the 41-degree Fahrenheit nights at their area.

The family had no experience or knowledge with caring for the Koala, and they had no idea what to do.

“When we took the koala off to wrap it in a blanket, it hissed at me and carried on. I think it would have been happy to have just slept there all day.”

After a while, they took the Koala to a vet who told them the little Joey was just fine and healthy. Once they made sure nothing was wrong was it, they gave it to a nearby Koala caretaker who will take care of the little animals until it’s ready to be released into the wild.

At a time of need, Asha was the only hope for this Koalas, and as the whole country of Australia is in need right now, you can also help them. Find out how to help Australia here.
