Apparently it's not a kangaroo - it's a wallaby.

(a wallaby is just someone who really wants to be a kangaroo)

That deserved way more thanks than it got.
There's a colony of them on lambay island, bloke in the pub told me they swam all the way from Australia, another fella told me that The Revelstokes introduced them but yer man's a bit of a spoofer so I'm inclined to take the word of the first bloke. Either way, there's definitely a good few of them on the island. I think you can visit by appointment only through skerries historical society during the summer months.

It's confirmed as having escaped from Araglin Animal sanctuary. So, didn't travel too far at all.

They seem to be abit d1ickish with the whole drowning dogs thing.

Seems fair if you're been attacked. They see dogs as predators,so self defense.

That Kangaroo is way smarter than that dog . Under the circumstances , you can hardly blame the Kangaroo .
