In what could potentially be the cutest rescue, a golden retriever by the name of Asha has saved an abandoned baby koala.
Five-year-old Asha's heroism was revealed after her owner Kerry McKinnon came across the pair on the front porch of her home in Victoria, Australia.
‘I just burst out laughing. Poor Asha didn’t know what to think, she just kept looking at me with such a confused look,'' she said.
‘She looked a bit guilty when I came out to see what was going on. Her expression was hilarious.’
A well deserved pat for the hero (Picture: Kerry McKinnon / Caters News)It's likely the baby koala - abandoned by it's mother - was looking for a warm place to spend the night, when it came across Asha sleeping on the porch.
Temperatures at night in the area can go below 5C at this time of year, and Kerry says the koala ‘never would have made it through the night’ without Asha’s cosy fur to cuddle up in.
It’s likely the joey fell out of its mum’s pouch, and due to the foxes or other predators in the area it could have suffered quite a grim fate.
When Kerry tried to separate the new buddies, she says the koala put up a ‘huge fuss’ and didn’t want to leave her new safe haven.
She says, ‘When we took the koala off to wrap it in a blanket, it hissed at me and carried on.
‘I think it would have been happy to have just slept there all day. It was really an amazing thing to see and so uniquely Australian’
