Lucky the dingo puppy is growing well following her dramatic entrance to the world through an emergency c-section just over a month ago. The amazing birth was deemed ‘a miracle’ by her adoring fans on social media.

Since being born she has been growing well under the watchful eyes of keepers who have made sure she is gaining weight and bonding well with Adina. Thankfully she is growing in to a happy and healthy pup.

In an exciting development this week keepers saw Lucky take her first steps out of the secure den where she has been cared for by mom, Adina. Recently keepers have also bee introducing meat to her diet.

Head of Mammals Dean Reid says, “We could not be happier to see Lucky growing up into one happy and healthy pup. She has started emerging on her own to come and say hello to us and is beginning to recognise us! It’s an incredible feeling to see this little puppy slowly waddle towards you, especially knowing I’m the one that was by her mother’s side when she was born and cut the umbilical cord!”

Mr Reid continued, “As she continues to get older and more confident with her walking, visitors at the Australian Reptile Park will be able to come and say hello to her!”
