Koala rescue
The wildfires in Australia are absolutely tragic… the amount of devastation to people, animals and land is incredible. I just wanted to post this story of a koala that was rescued. Her paws were burned and she was walking with a great deal of difficulty. David Tree, a firefighter, pulled over and approached the koala with a bottle of water- she drank a total of 3 bottles of water and reached out and held the hand of Mr. Tree. She’s now being rehabilitated along with some 30+ other animals. Anyway, it made me a little choked up- mostly about the fact that the koala grabbed his hand... I realize that the human tragedy here is much more serious and appalling, but I really love reading stories like this, where people go the extra mile to help another person or sometimes even a struggling animal. Maybe it’s the part of me that grew up perusing the Reader’s Digest subscription my mom left in the bathroom. Here’s the original story with more photos.
How could you not pull over for her?
