HEROIC PET
Dog saves woman from roo
A family dog fought off a kangaroo that badly mauled a NSW farmer's wife at her Mudgee farm.
Rosemary Neal, 65, suffered facial lacerations, gouges to her back and legs and bruising when the 2m roo attacked. Son Daren said: "If it wasn't for the dog, she'd probably be dead. The kangaroo went crazy - it just laid into her with its feet and claws."
Kangaroo attacks on humans are rare and humans often come off worst.
That's for the folk that are terrified of our spiders and snakes! Them roos can be lethal. Who needs bears hey?Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.0 -

I reckon it's just because the spambots have been following me and a few other true blue Aussies around.I rarely mention Coke, Nike or Starbucks but I'm thinking I've made quite a few posts that include Vegemite.
But yeah, just the other day someone in the US asked me about Vegemite sammiches because of that song and it did go something along the lines of WTF is Vegemite?NOPE!!!

I've actually seen a roo attack before. It's not pretty and they are SCARY!!!! They box with their front paws, scratching and hitting around the head usually and then they try to latch on so they can hold their victim as support while they jump up and deliver the more dangerous blows with their powerful back legs. And their claws are sharp! They could rip you open if they do decide to. The lady was very lucky that the dog was around I reckon.
I've often wondered if the best thing to do if one starts to attack is the same as for Goannas, which is to lie flat on the ground and protect your soft side.NOPE!!!

A: You get a big, smelly 'roo!

A: He did a 'roo in the toilet!
Q: What did the customs official find down the Australian animal smuggler's trousers?
A: There was 'roo in his pants!Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.0 -
