Wallaby surprises Kent dog-walker
The moment caught on camera
A dog walker was astonished to come across a wallaby recently, when exercising her dog in the Kent countryside.
Alex Pooley, 29, and her dog Shackleton came across the unexpected animal on a farm track in Pluckley.
She said: "We were in a field near the train station and I saw what I thought was a giant hare, but then it moved and started hopping.
"I was a bit surprised to say the least and the dog was off the lead at the time and he went off to investigate. They ran around for a couple of minutes and then he came back and I put him on the lead.
"Then I saw it hopping down the path towards us. It seemed pretty friendly and quite intrigued because it came right up to us."
Quick-thinking Ms Pooley managed to record the incident on her mobile phone, before it hopped off to pastures new.
