Here's today's feel-good story:

A 6-year-old Australian Koolie named Bear has been named a hero after helping to rescue over 100 injured koalas from the Australian bush fires in 2019-2020.

Bear was taught at the University of the Sunshine Coast to use his heightened sense of smell to hunt out the injured koalas among the ashes.

“Bear and our team are studying the effects of the 2019-20 bushfires on koala health and habitat density in collaboration with IFAW,” said Dr. Romane Cristescu, USC team leader and researcher. “He is always happy to give a paw to find koalas as part of the Detection Dogs for Conservation’s other research activities.”
