Opossums are nocturnal creatures, so they cross the street at night, which unfortunately makes them susceptible to being hit by cars. An opossum who met this fate had her child cling to her side when she was found. If the baby is not saved, it will also die.

The rescue team delivered the baby opossum, now known as Poncho, to a veterinarian for specialized treatment. However, he remains healthy and thriving despite the fact that he doesn’t have a mother to take care of him, that’s when the story really begins.

Hantu, a white German Shepherd, doesn’t have any puppies of his own but has welcomed Ponch into his life as if he were one. They needed each other and quickly became best friends; It’s great to see them together.

Poncho will stick to Hantu’s back, just like she did with her biological mother. Three years later, nothing has changed. Although Poncho is much larger than when she was saved, she still rides on Hantu’s back during their amazing hikes.

Poncho and Hantu are helping RSF fulfill its role to help educate people to appreciate the richness of their wildlife diversity.
