Yeah, Jack V, know what you mean.
We "misplaced' a dog while mustering out back of Walgett some years back. So we lit a fire, boiled the billy and camped there for a few hours but "Fido" (my dad called all me dogs Fido) didn't turn up.
We broke camp and I left my work shirt hanging on a corner fence post and continued on down the Bre road with the rest of the mob..
I came back a couple of days later and low n behold, there was Fido sitting near the shirt with a look on his face as if to say"Well, where the bloody hell have you been?".
He had penned up in the corner of the fence 5 sheep, 6 pigs and 2 stray stock horses that a couple of drovers had lost a few months ago AND even had time to keep the fire going and had the billy just coming to the boil.
Yep, Fido was a bloody good dog, alright.
Cheers.
Boom, Boom! Tikka, Tikka, Boom! Shoot first, video later.
