Story of the Week - Sam the Koala

She is a sweetheart - The guy who shared his water says the most amazing part of connecting with her was when she reached out and held his hand.

Amazing and Graced in one tiny grip of gratitude.



And the quick update -- [ Carer Jenny Shaw said she suffered burns on her paws and was in a lot of pain, but was on the road to recovery. She was put on an IV drip and is on antibiotics and pain relief treatment.

"She is lovely - very docile - and she has already got an admirer. A male koala keeps putting his arms around her," Ms Shaw said. "She will need regular attention and it will be a long road to recovery, but she should be able to be released back into the wild in about five months." ]
