A woman risked her own safety to rescue a burnt koala from an Australian bushfire.
In the dramatic video, you can see her rush to the animal’s aid as it crossed a road near Long Flat in New South Wales.
She wraps the koala in her shirt, then gives the poor thing some water.
Its cries for help had been answered.
The local woman told an Australian news outlet her name was Toni.
She said she would take the koala to the nearby Port Macquarie Koala Hospital.
BuzzFeed News says over 30 surviving koalas have been taken to the hospital to be treated for burns and dehydration.
More than 350 koalas are thought to have died from the flames in a major habitat.
Luckily, the marsupials have a canine on their side.
This is Bear, the Cattle Dog crossbreed from Queensland.
Bear is trained to find and save koalas hurt in Australia’s bushfires.
The hot, dry summers in Australia are a perfect storm for bushfires.
But drought conditions and high temps have sparked fierce blazes early.
In November, bushfires have taken the lives of at least four people, burnt about 2.5 million acres, and ruined more than 300 homes.

After controlling 4 hard minutes i braked into tears…
Bless her. ??❤
I love that she was so brave and kindhearted to rescue this poor koala and I hope something really wonderful happens to her in return. However, I hate that some people want to take this wonderful act of kindness and turn it into a hate fest about other nationalities. We can’t just applaud a wonderful woman for doing something amazing and heroic— instead we take this as a chance to start a mudslinging contest.
OMG thank so much to the lady who rescued the koala bear.
You're a good woman for saving an animal God bless you ??

BILLIONAIRES RAISE A BILLION DOLLARS IN TWO FREAKIN DAYS TO REBUILD THE NOTRE-DAME AND IN THE MEAN TIME THE WORLD IS ON FIRE AND WHERE’S THE MONEY TO HELP THE FIRE VICTIMS???
