Wombat are like rounder, heavier, more stubborn dogs, so it only makes sense that walking them is a treat, albeit a frustrating one.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Queensland, Australia, is hoping to raise much-needed funds for wombat conservation by allowing guests to pay for the unique experience of taking a wombat for a walk.

And by the looks of it, it's the best and cutest thing that will probably ever happen to you.

Just look at how adorable these little fellas are in their harnesses. Not to lose our chill and anthropomorphize our furry friends, but WOMBATS LOVE WALKIES. Pass it on.
