Your heart is about to explode.
An orphaned joey who was adopted by a Western Australian policeman is beginning to treat the officer like his mum!
Constable Scott Mason shared a video on Facebook to reveal the chosen name for the baby roo – right as his companion crawls into his shirt like a pouch.
“So, ladies and gentlemen, that’s Cuejo,” he says with a smile.
Cuejo was brought into the Cue Police Station earlier this week after he was found in its dead mother’s pouch.
“It’s very dehydrated and skinny, but we’re doing what we can,” Constable Mason said.
Constable Scott, who moved to Cue six weeks ago, said he would have his hands full over the next few months as his wife just gave birth to their first child.
“Because it needs to be fed every three hours, it’s going to be my little child basically as my wife’s in Perth with our newborn,” he said.
“So she’s got her newborn and I’ve got a little one as well.”
