This Guy Saved A Drowning Wallaby

Mick Hussin was on vacation in New South Wales when he saw a baby wallaby being chased by a pack of dogs. The joey ran right into a creek, where it quickly started drowning in the current. 

Fortunately, Hussin is a friend to wallabies and he just happened to have learned CPR a few weeks before that. So he jumped into action, pulling the little guy from the water and even giving it CPR by turning his hand into a funnel so he could actually get air into the tiny guy's lungs. After about ten minutes, the wallaby started to move one of its paws and then it spit up the water in its lungs. 

Hussin then wrapped the joey in a blanket and brought it to a local wilfelife rescue named WIRES. The group says the critter is recovering well and will be released back into the wild in a week or so.

Yeah, the website isn't very good but it's funny.
My husband and I usually refer to creepy vans as "Rape vans". It's awful, but what can I say... we're immature giggly adults that are easily amused :P

"For some reason the creepiest mode of transportation is the van"

Nah. Surely the most suspect form of transport is anything with heavilly tinted windows, but especially if it happens to be a black MPV.

@lisa, reminds me of the workaholics episode where they write 'rape van' on their van to keep people away from it

and ya, what an awful site, made looking at the creepy vans really annoying...and i enjoy looking at creepy vans apparently.
