Koala rescued from Aussie wildfires

I know I’m supposed to write words in this post, but this koala rescue is so heart warming, I just have to put it in.

These are firemen working the Australian wildfires.  They found a scorched koala and befriended her.  They called her Sam.  You can read more of  her story at  http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090211/od_nm/us_fires_koala_1 .

Doesn’t it warm your heart to see such gentleness in the midst of tragedy?  So very many burned acres.  So many dead.  And yet a fireman has the time and the inclination to help a hurting koala.  Koala’s are awake in the night time and usually sleep through the day, so you can see it’s confused and hurt.

I love this story.  I hope you enjoy the video.
