Australia's 'hottest paramedic', 30, sends women into a frenzy after posting a picture of himself with an adorable puppy

Rhys Greedy, like many hardworking paramedics, was at work on Sunday while the rest of the nation was celebrating Mother's Day.

But instead of complaining about his shift pattern, the 30-year-old from Queensland's Ambulance Service was taking photos with a lovable border collie puppy that was at the station that day.

'Dogs at work, life doesn't get any better,' he captioned a photo of himself and the dog - innocently sharing it to Facebook.

Within minutes the photo went viral - with 8,000 likes and counting - and hundreds of women were commenting below with a number of saucy lines like 'oops I think I just broke my arm' and 'I'll need resuscitating after this'. 

Rhys, who uploaded the picture just over 10 hours ago, was extremely surprised by the attention.

'I was a little bit shocked to wake up this morning and see the reaction. Last time I put a photo up in that Cool Dog group it received about 40 likes,' he told FEMAIL

The 12-week-old border collie named Benji belongs to one of his co-workers and was brought down to the station before work began. 

'I didn't get a chance to read all the comments under the photo but there were some amusing ones in there,' he continued.

'I think a colleague commenting on it saying there would be an increased number of phone calls from people thinking a puppy was going to arrive in an ambulance made me laugh the most.'

Rhys describes himself as a 'very outdoorsy person' who enjoys 'the beach, mountains or anything that involves some spontaneous adventure out in nature'.

He regularly posts photos of trails he has walked and hardcore gym sessions, even trying out some intricate yoga moves in his spare time.

'The past four years I've played a part in organising and running some fundraising campaigns, coinciding with heading overseas and taking part in a trek or mountain climb.

But despite his busy personal schedule, Rhys spends much of his time working as a paramedic, a job he has been doing for 18 months now

'Up until this point, it's been about $60,000 raised for local charities and hospitals, with trips to Nepal (twice), the French alps, Mount Kilimanjaro in Arica and Ecuador.

'My next one is an attempt to run the Kokoda trail in Papua New Guinea in four weeks time, again raising money for the cardiac ward up at the new Sunshine Coast hospital.'

'I absolutely love it. With a military background I was keen to stay in a job which is vastly different every day, keeps you on your toes, and an amazing opportunity to be able to help complete strangers,' he said
