You have to love the story of an orphan made good, right?
Dust the koala, who is under the care of a koala rescue service on Australia's east coast, was found injured and taken in by Port Stephens Koalas in January. Dust was roaming the streets without his mother, according to the shelter's Facebook post, weighing a measly 1.8 kilograms (3.96 pounds).

"Because he's still growing, he will now be on formula until he's around 2.5 [kilograms] at which point he will be released," the rescue service explained on Facebook when he was first found.
"As he is totally wild, he will be treated with minimum contact and as you can see from his epic cuteness, this will be a tough but essential job."
Dust is named after an album by Australian band Midnight Oil called Diesel and Dust.In fact, there's another koala in care that's named Diesel.
Dust is now weaned and will go to rehabilitation to become independent before being released into the wild. You can watch the video of Dust getting petted below. Of course you want to.
