Australian Bushfires - Koala Rescue (with Interview) (February, 2009)

This is a testament to the gentle spirit of David Tree, the koala marsupial (not a bear), normally would have run away. It seems that she could sense that he was there to help. Three cheers for David Tree.

Nice job and kudos to David Tree. People like you make the world a better place.
Take Care and God bless.

What a wonderful thing to see! After so much pain and so much suffering, its wonderful to see something so sweet and so special.
Thank you for sharing.

We live a in such beautiful world. Sad that we destroy it a little bit more every single day

Gorgeous, gorgeous !!

What a beautiful wee mite and such a lovely man.

Very Cool......

As long as there are good people in this world like David Tree (!) mankind will prevail! God bless him and all Firefighters down under!

Great job David, Andrew and all animal rescue people.

This is truly an amazing and heartwarming story. I'm so glad the little fella is doing quite alright now. Let's hope she fully recovers.

Greetings from Belgium.

We can be stubborn, were very competitive, and many times we will even be wrong but in times of devastation, we Aussies will rise from the ashes to help out a mate... Unfortunately, some of us started these fires, however 99.9 9999per cent of us mourn the loss of lives and are thankful for the many Davids that we have, protecting ALL Aussies both human and our beautiful animals xxx Cheers mate xxx

that is a heartwarming and wonderful news story,in amongst all the bad,dark things shines a star....well done mate

what are you trying to say......C**t .......

are all australian people as polite and well spoken as him?

Thank you for sharing this. Koala bears are so cute!! it truely is a wonderful story! We all need a little HOPE!

i am really mad and feel like killing those people who burn the forest!!! animals become the victims! human too.. why on earth this kind of bad people should stay alive? David and his friends are superhero to me. Good job David!

Although the Koala is a wild animal that is wary of humans, in this case, I believe the Koala knew intuitively that the man would help her. It's a lovely story.
