A man punches a kangaroo to protect a dog

Would you be ready to fight a kangaroo to defend your dog? This question might seem silly, but that's the situation an Australian had to face recently.

Man fighting a kangaroo

Last June, a group of friends organised a hunting trip in New South Wales for one of their friend who had cancer.

They brought with them dogs trained to smell boars and not to approach kangaroos. A massive kangaroo still managed to grab one of the dogs in a headlock and rough him up a little.

One of the man, nicknamed "Goo", ran to help the dog, punching the kangaroo, which seems not to believe what had just happened.
Happily, it was more fear than harm for the dog, the kangaroo and Goo.
