Best Mates, the Baby Kangaroo and the Wonder Dog that saved it

By all accounts the baby kangaroo should have not survived the road accident that claimed its mother…but then along came Rex the wonder dog. The pointer discovered the baby roo, known as a joey, alive in the mother’s pouch and took it back to his owner. “I was so surprised and delighted,” said Leonie Allan. “Rex saved the day.” The four-month-old joey’s mother was killed by a car near Ms Allan’s home in Torquay, Victoria, Australia.
