萌萌哒：一只以为自己是汪星人的袋鼠

When rural farmer Ashley Stewart and his wife Felicity found a baby male kangaroo on the side of the road in 2013, they had no idea that the little joey would quickly become part of their family.

2013年艾希礼·斯图尔特和他的妻子费利西蒂在公路边发现了一只雄性袋鼠宝宝，那时候他们并没有想到这个小东西会迅速成为他们家里的一员。

Two years on, the curious and friendly joey they have dubbed 'Dusty' is now so comfortable living with the couple and their dogs Lilly and Rosie on their farm, near Esperance in Western Australia, that the Stewart's are convinced he actually thinks he is a dog too.

两年来，在澳大利亚西部的埃斯佩兰斯附近的农场里，这个被他们叫做Dusty的小袋鼠温顺友好，而且非常喜欢和斯图尔特夫妻以及两条狗Lilly 和Rosie呆在一起，这让斯图尔特一家都觉得Dusty可能也是一条狗了。

Dusty rides around the property in the back of Mr Stewart's truck along with the dogs, sleeps with them on a dog bed, eats with them, asks for scratches.

出行时，Dusty和狗狗一起带在卡车的后车厢里，平时Dusty和狗狗们一起吃睡，而且和狗狗一样喜欢被人抚摸。

His unique behaviour began when Mr Stewart decided to drive down to a dam on the couple's property in Wittenoom Hills, 60 kilometres from Esperance, and loaded Lilly, a golden retriever, and Rosie, a border collie, into the truck bed.
