I'm American and we're not all like that. Unfortunately, when you have 300 million + people in your country, you're going to have WAY more idiots than other countries! It's all relative though. People need to quit making generalizations. I thnk this is one of the most touching stories I've ever seen. I have the pic as my wallpaper and I think the pic should be nominated for a Pulitzer!
this story is so touching! I saw the video on the news & was so amazed this koala, Samantha, allowed help from Dave Tree--God bless him for taking the time & having the compassion to help her--this photo is like the 'shot seen round the world!' So glad to hear Sam is recovering & has found true love during her hospitalization!
you make a valid point, but as an aussie myself i'd say that many aussies would think to do a good deed such as this. especially admist all this heartbreak, we're all for helping each other out. its just who we are.
On a darker note check out what this yank posted about us, type in World coverage of australian bushfires, its called Australian bushfires.... burn baby burn. Dont be shy leave a nice msg for the so and so.
absolute legend! so much loss and sadness caused by the fires....it is so good to see something like this. you deserve all the goodness that comes your way :)
Too amazing!! Mr Tree will indeed never forget this event...the atrocious fire he fought, and this sweet little koala needing some water. Awesome - thank you for the post!
those people should be rolemodels and they are the true heroes they give their life iin order to help and save here in greece before 2 years we had big fires and many people died and it s really sad what is happening
Animals exactly feel if you there to help them or not, i think thats just amazing, and also amazing that these guys have shown such an effort to safe this beautifull animal.
This is one "gleaming" video. =p

Very emotional and moving video, especially when the thirsty Koala takes man hand.
Many thanks to the good-hearted fireman, not everyone would do so much for an animal.

Dave Tree makes me proud to be an Aussie.
What a nice down to earth bloke he is. Sam obviously felt comforted by his presence.
