Tree, the Fireman that Saved Sam the Koala

The popular female koala Sam saved from the Australian bushfire by volunteer firefighter Dave Tree:

You can see how she stops and moves forward and looks at me. It was like a look saying "I can't run, I'm weak and sore, put me out of my misery".

I yelled out for some water and I sat down with her and tipped the water up. It was in my hand and she reached for the bottle then put her right claw into my left hand which was cold so it must have given her some pain relief and she just left it there. It was just amazing.



Sam's got 2nd degree burns to her paws which will take 7 to 8 months to recover. Sam's found a boyfriend in Bob at the shelter she is in.
