Sweet Golden Retriever Keeps Baby Koala Safe & Warm During Cold Night

Bondi Vet and the People’s Bachelor but not Bachelor Dr. Chris Brown has shared the most wholesome photo you’ll see for a good while and it includes a golden retriever and a baby koala.

In a Facebook post shared earlier today, Brown told us the story of a little koala joey, one that may have fallen out of its mother’s pouch sometime during the night. Confused and in temperatures as low as 4 degrees, the baby somehow found its way into the care of Asha, a golden retriever who was sleeping on a porch nearby. Even though Asha may have been a little confused by the sudden arrival, she looked after the wee creature and in the morning, Asha’s humans found her with the baby clutching on.

The baby is in great care now and will be hand-raised until independent enough to return to the wild.

In other words, ASHA DID A HECKIN’ PROTECT.

This golden retriever has become the most unlikely lifesaver after a tiny koala joey suddenly found itself cold and alone.

The baby koala appears to have fallen out of its mother’s pouch in the middle of the night. Without his mum and with temperatures dropping to 4 degrees, he decided to put all his faith in Asha the retriever who just happened to be sleeping on the back porch of a house nearby. Despite what must have been a confusing time for Asha, she ultimately gave the joey a warm reception and helped him avoid potentially deadly hypothermia. He was found in the morning by Asha’s owner, still desperately clinging on to her fur.

With koala breeding season in full swing, there’s every chance the joey found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The little koala will now be hand raised before being released back into the wild. Forever grateful to his thankfully very furry and unflappable foster mum.

IM SOBBING.

LOOK AT THE LITTLE TREE DOGGO’S FACE.

Fact: golden retrievers are furry angels.

Have a blessed Friday night, folks.
