Meet Cuejo, the newest (and bounciest) police recruit

14 Mar, 2016
Meet Cuejo, the newest (and bounciest) police recruitMeet Cuejo, the newest (and bounciest) police recruit

Scott Mason, father of one, takes on the challenge of raising a kid...and a kangaroo!

Scott Mason, police officer from Western Australia, probably never expected that his career choice would lead to him adopting a kangaroo. Actually, most people don’t expect such a circumstance from their career choice. But when Mason encountered an abandoned joey after its mother had been ran down by a truck, he knew he had to intervene.

Mason, a father of one (and now a kangaroo, to boot) took on the challenge of adopting the four-month-old joey, and proceeded to name him Cuejo. The two have since formed a bond and their relationship is nothing short of adorable.

Cuejo adorably tries to retreat to Mason's "pouch" as he addresses the camera.

Here's a look at Cuejo nestled into the shirt of his newly appointed parent! I wonder if Scott holds his baby like that!
