A badly burned koala that was rescued crying and screaming from Australia's bushfires has been reunited with the heroic grandma who saved its life.
Video of the dramatic rescue Wednesday shows motorist Toni Doherty running from her car to help the koala near Port Macquarie, New South Wales as the catastrophic fires that have ravaged the state burn all around them."It was terrifying to see him just come out of the flames and he looked so defenseless running along the road," Doherty told CNN affiliate 9News."I knew I needed to put something around him as I ran to the tree, so I just took off my shirt and covered him with it.
