It seems that Bear is an active dog. He is a good talented boy, too. He’s the only dog in Australia to be trained and be able to sniff off koala’s fur to find them. Needless to say, what he has done contributes to the conservation of Australian animal ѕрeсіeѕ and biodiversity.Therefore, in 2020, the UK’s International Fund for Animal Welfare presented him with the Special Recognition Award. Along with the award, the six-year-old Australian Koolie was also given a golden medal for his heroic feats.
