Dog comes to baby kangaroo’s rescue
OK, so this has nothing to do with (human) parenting, but damn if we didn’t need a cute little story as a break from all the child abuse news.
Seeing a dead kangaroo by the highway near her house in southern Australia was nothing new for Leonie Allan and her dog Rex, who were out for a walk on Easter morning.
But back home in their yard in Bells Beach, near Torquay, Rex kept pointing toward where they had seen the roadkill — he is a pointer after all — and eventually took off in that direction.
He came back a few minutes later and dropped a live baby kangaroo at Allan’s feet — a 4 1/2-month-old “joey” he had apparently gone back and rescued from the pouch of its dead mother, according to the Melbourne Herald-Sun.
