Doodlebug has be melting hearts all over the world, since Aussie media advisor Tim Beshara tweeted out the picture of him hugging his teddy earlier this week.

Mr Beshara also said he had been corrected by his mother and the photo was not a wallaby as he had first assumed.
So, who wants to start a Doodlebug fan club with us?!
Gillian Abbott, who runs a business rescuing and nursing abandoned joeys, finds they respond to the bears “in the same way as a toddler” because it is “like a companion” to them. Beshara has several theories on what could have happened to Doodlebug.
Gillian nursed the joey back to health and found that he really liked the teddy bears that she hung around her yard. The adviser to Tasmanian Greens Senator Peter Whish-Wilson has gone on to say that he wasn’t surprised that many in Australia would get the news of Doodlebug, but he would have never have thought that the pictures would go on to be shown in countries such as Russian Federation and the United States.
There’s nothing better than getting a hug from a good buddy, even if it’s just a stuff toy.
