A koala and a dog is a very unlikely pair but we share this viral news and tell you that truly nothing is impossible!
The video of a koala that mistook a dog as its mom is all over the internet as the level of cuteness that it showcased is out of this world.
Out on a walk, the dog in focus got shocked and confused when a baby koala clung on its back all of a sudden.
The video as to how the baby koala just won’t let go and clung ever so tightly is almost three-minute long and it shows how convinced it was that the dog is indeed its mom.
The incident happened in Stirling, Adelaide. Various koala incidents are not surprising around the area as koalas are endemic in Australia. But this incident is unique as it involved an adorable dog that became an instant mom.
The dog that was mistaken as a koala is miniature schnauzer. The incident got it so confused that it went round and round trying to figure out what was the thing that was clinging intensely on his back.
The dog tried to have the baby koala slip from its back but it always found a way to cling back and just hang on. There are many reasons as to why the koala mistook the dog as its mom but experts assume that the baby koala probably got lost and the dog provided a familiar and approachable texture and smell.
The dog’s owner reported that the koala eventually left the dog’s back and climbed back up to a tree. Koalas can have extremely long paws that can be dangerous. Luckily, the adorable dog didn’t get hurt.
This is to hoping that the koala is now together with its real koala mom!
