The people who discovered Wandi thought he might be a fox, if not a lesser-known species of dog, but after taking him to the nearby Alpine Animal Hospital, a DNA test proved otherwise.As it turns out, Wandi is an Australian Alpine Dingo.Veterinarian Dr. Bec Day examined Wandi, and determined that some marks left on the dingo’s back were likely left behind by a hungry eagle who Wandi later evaded.

Whilst he is wild and always will be, he has become quite happy here and he likes the people that are caring for him.”Watson and her colleagues are taking good care of Wandi at the sanctuary, and monitoring him as he grows.“He is just amazing to watch,” she said. What became of his family is unknown, but Wandi has a brighter future ahead now that he’s being relocated to the Australian Dingo Foundation’s sanctuary in the Macedon foothills of Victoria.“He was a puppy when he was brought to us, so about eight to ten weeks [of age],” Day told “He was adorable, serious puppy cuteness.
