Hey I think I hear a dingo on your message board

A miracle puppy that was found in a rural Australian backyard after possibly being dropped by a bird of prey has been discovered to be a purebred dingo, to the joy of conservationists.

Wandi is less than a year old but already the small dingo puppy is carrying the weight of his species on his shoulders.

Lyn Watson, director of the Australian Dingo Foundation, said it was very rare for a sanctuary to take in a 100% purebred dingo puppy and Wandi would now be an important part of their breeding program to save the vulnerable species.

Dingoes are native to Australia but have had their numbers reduced by habitat destruction and hunting. The species is currently listed as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Yeah I thought of one Bart Simpson right away.
