Just read the article again. While I certainly think Wayne Best deserves huge credit for what he’s done, I just want to draw people’s attention to what the article says about his mate, Shane Waymouth who picked them up and drove them the final distance into town - it says that’s he also joined Mr Best in looking for fruit picking work to help pay the (now-covered) vet bill. That is a mate - not his dog, but he’s looking to help straight away.

When I saw the titke I was perplexed about crocs un Canada. After 0.5 seconds it dawned on me this must be about Oz.

That's not a croc, that's a polar bar!

Or else global warming has gotten really bad.

Hurray for both Choco and his brave owner. Contrast and compare this guy with the subhumans caught taping their dogs’ mouths shut and other horrific abuses. THEY deserve to be thrown to this croc.

I thought for sure the old croc would go for the bacon instead of the dog!
