Golden Retriever Rescues Adorable Baby Koala From Certain Death

An adorable baby koala was freezing to death. Temperatures at night can get very low in the harsh Australian outback. And the poor little guy could have died without help. But the koala’s rescuer is the real surprise.

Because every now and then, nature needs a little help from one of humanity’s favorite animal friends…

Koalas Are Amazing

There are few creatures quite as cuddly and lovably as koalas. Something about their big round noses and chubby faces just makes them a joy to behold.

A Dangerous Life

Unfortunately, though, in a country like Australia, Koalas often run into danger. Not only do they have to contend with man-made obstacles like cars, but even the natural environment is out to get them.

The Great Rescue

Such was the case for one baby koala who recently ran into trouble. Abandoned and alone, the poor little thing would have frozen to death, were it not for a friendly rescuer.
