Netizens left in awe

While some netizens found the video “cute” and “adorable”, there were others who were concerned for the baby Koala as well. One internet user commented saying, “Very cute, poor doggo is so confused but I really hope Mamma Koala is around somewhere and rescued her baby”. Another commented, “Yeah, ok, so it looks cute but the filming continued way too long. If that was my doggo, I wouldn't have been filming this, I would have gotten the poor little koala off of my poor doggo and put the koala in a safe place until Koala rescue came to take care of it. I feel bad for the poor doggo who was obviously stressed”.
