People go to great lengths to protect man's best friend.

A bizarre video posted on YouTube Sunday night shows a man fight a kangaroo after it attacks a dog.

The incident happened on June 15th in the Australian Outback, according to the video notes, but did not go viral until this weekend.

According to the description, a group of hunters got together to help a young cancer patient with his last wish of catching a wild boar with his dogs.


The man then confronts the animal, who lets go of the dog and the fight begins. After several hops, the man punches the kangaroo directly in the face, forcing him to bounce backward.
