A recent bushfire in Australia has affected many wildlife species, including koalas. In a heartwarming display of friendship, a koala and a dog recently shared a drink at a family fountain.

The touching moment, captured by Danielle Stone, was later shared online by their neighbor, Andrew Frost.

Riley and Olivia Stone’s dog, Rusty, is known for his friendly and accommodating nature. Quasi, a local koala, frequently visited the Stone’s neighbor’s home.

During a particularly hot spell, Quasi ventured into the Stone’s neighbor’s backyard for a refreshing drink from their fountain.

Koalas typically get hydrated from eucalyptus leaves and rarely drink from other sources. However, they may seek out additional water during extreme heat or climate change.

As Quasi drank from the fountain, Rusty came into the backyard and decided he needed a drink too.

The two animals interacted peacefully, with Rusty showing no signs of aggression and Quasi remaining calm despite the dog’s presence.

The pair briefly touched noses and sniffed each other, sharing a moment of mutual recognition before continuing to drink from the fountain together.

This friendly encounter highlights both animals’ gentle nature and ability to coexist harmoniously.
