Dogs are saving koalas in the Australia wildfires

Among the thousands of firefighters battling the catastrophic Australia bushfires, there have been four-legged furry heroes employed with a job of their own.

Dogs are being employed to rescue koalas during the fires, and with the flames expected to continue on for months, they're only just getting started.

One dog, 4-year-old Taylor, has rescued eight koalas since September, according to Tate.

Like most detector dogs, Taylor uses her snout to sniff out koala fur. In perfect conditions, she is able to locate the koalas wherever they may be because their smell drops down from trees.

Trainers use the command "Koala, find!" to alert the dogs of their mission.
