A real Aussi, mate! In France we would have saved our glass of red!

In a video made viral and filmed by his daughter Bree, Mr Tuohey tries to protect his dogs from a kangaroo ready to pounce on them. What the animal does besides a few seconds later, it does not attack the dogs but the man.
Approaching in rapid leaps, the kangaroo gives two paws in the belly of Mr. Tuohey who falls to the ground, but still manages to save his beer, without dropping a single bit of it.

Immediately after pushing Mr. Tuohey, the kangaroo turned to the two dogs, which at that time surrounds the wild animal.

His daughter filmed from a safer distance, laughing, warning him that the kangaroo was approaching.

The images have since been viewed more than 100,000 times online.
