A heroic golden retriever named Asha surprised her owner as she brought home a baby koala she saved. Kerry McKinnon, Asha’s owner, discovered her dog’s tiny friend perched atop her back. Kerry, couldn’t help but be proud upon finding out that her five-year-old dog just saved the koala’s life.
Kerry recalled how her dog performed an act of kindness. At first, she was taken by surprise as she didn’t expect Asha and the baby koala to form an unlikely bond. Being a long-time resident of Strathdownie, Western Virginia in Australia, Kerry knew that temperatures could become unbearable to animals in the wild, especially koalas. Kerry believed that without Asha’s help, the tiny koala wouldn’t have made it alive through the night.
Asha cuddled up the koala to keep it warm. The heroic feat went viral on social media. The photo gained likes and shares online. It was an excellent proof that everyone loved the adorable photo of Asha and the baby koala.
Kerry said that her husband yelled out to her to take a look at something. Curious to know what her husband was talking about, she rushed to him, and there, she saw the tiny koala getting cozy on top of Asha’s back. She admitted that she didn’t approve of Asha bringing home a baby koala.
Her lovely dog kept looking at her, not knowing what to do. A look of guilt was all over her face. Kerry thought her dog’s expression to be hilarious. She found herself laughing at her confused dog.
Kerry knew that taking the baby koala off of Asha’s back wasn’t easy as they already made a strong bond. The vet examined the koala, and a local carer also made sure that he received love and care. He will return to the wild once he reaches the right age.
