#1 Kangaroo has Lassie moment

Dinkum Aussies might call this a "Skippy" moment... :)

#2 Authorities have allowed the family to care for the kangaroo since it was little, because it is blind in one eye and thinks it is a dog.

How do they know it thinks it's a dog?

#3 Robert - they found it on the woof. It's skin is a little ruff. It loves to eat bark. And, it's persistance in getting help could only be described as dogged.

#6 A female kangeroo could use its pouch to be particularly effective at fetching slippers and the paper. This would aleviate the saliva problem with having a dog perform the same function. I propose that all dogs be upgrade to kangeroos immediately except in the Phillipines as kangeroos don't taste right in stew.

#7 A female kangaroo would also be especially useful when parents with small children need to walk the pet -- no need for the stroller...

#8 Lots of Kangaroos think they are dogs, usually specific breeds. For instance, this one thinks he is a boxer.

Kanga Joe

#9 sorry, i find this hard to believe. kangeroos are stupid (no offense to any kangeroos reading this), but it's reported that it took four roos to make the original versions of "skippy the bush kangeroo" because they were incapable of learning more than one trick. the guy probably had an oatmeal bar in his pocket and the pet needed a feed.
