More Than Just a Stereotype
On the BootsnAll boards, there was a thread about stupid questions asked about your country. In it, people talked about travelers asking if South Africans had lions as pets and Texans owned guns. One of the most popular questions Australians were asked was about pet kangaroos. Imagine my shock a few years ago when I learned my friend's mother actually did have a pet kangaroo when she was growing up. This family also has a pet kangaroo, and it saved a life!

Aren't there non South Africans who have lions as pets? And non Texans who own guns? Probably non Australians who have kangaroos as pets too.
I am happy, though, that Lulu saved this family. Every once in a while, there comes a brave and courageous animal that rises to its potential. It's a good story, almost inspirational.
