While stretching close to Australia’s Murray River on a walk along with his dogs, Mick Moloney all of a sudden seen certainly one of his Akitas—Hatchi—was lacking.
“I looked in [towards the river] and behind these reeds I could just see this massive kangaroo…standing there with his arms actually in the water just staring at me,” Moloney instructed ABC Radio Melbourne by way of Australian Broadcasting Corp.
“After about 15 seconds, Hatchi came up and he was in a headlock with this kangaroo. Water was just gushing out of his mouth and he yelped quite badly.”
Moloney made a loud noise attempting to scare the kangaroo away, however the animal didn’t transfer. Nor did it let go of his canine.
“I thought, all right, I got to get in there,” Moloney instructed ABC Radio.
He took his telephone out and began recording “because no one is going to believe this.”

“I got my dog back, that’s the main thing.”
Moloney admitted he had reservations about going on the kangaroo, contemplating its dimension.
“The muscles on this thing, I was like ‘this thing’s just got out of jail’ or something…It was jacked.”
