During Australia’s 2019-2020 wildfires, Bear sniffed out live koalas in need of rescue. These koalas were then able to get the medical care they needed to recover from burns, malnourishment, and dehydration. The IFAW honored Bear for his heroism virtually at the Animal Action Awards at the House of Lords.

We’ll give Bear extra pats and extra play for his award,” Bear’s handler, Dr. Romane Cristescu, said in a statement.
