The burns were quite severe, but the little girl pulled through the surgery and is said to make a full recovery. It looks like love has come into her life, too!The rest is HERE.CANBERRA: A love story between two badly burned koalas rescued from Australia's deadliest bushfires has provided some heart-warming relief after days of devastation and the loss of over 180 lives.
The story of Sam and her new boyfriend Bob emerged after volunteer firefighter Dave Tree used a mobile phone to film the rescue of the bewildered female found cowering in a burned out forest at Mirboo North, 150 km (90 miles) southeast of Melbourne.
Photos and a video of Tree, 44, approaching Sam while talking gently to her, and feeding her water from a plastic bottle as she put her burned claw in his cold, wet hand quickly hit video sharing website YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XSPx7S4jr4), making her an Internet sensation.
But it was after reaching a wildlife shelter that Sam met and befriended Bob, who was saved by wildlife workers on Friday, two days before Sam, in Boolarra, about 180 km from Melbourne.

Ain't love grand! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteA heartwarming story. We need more of these. Did you see the story of the cat that was rescued from a pillar beneath the highway? It took a cherrypicker to rescue the kitty. How she got there, no one knows. Malnourished and frightened, she's in a safe harbor how.
