Lost dog

[madtuna]

If anyone is missing or knows anyone who's missing a short haired brindle coloured bitch about the size and look of a cattle dog wearing a tan leather collar from around the Cox's Find area on Erlistoun station please contact me.

If anyone on any of the face book prospecting forums could please keep their eyes out re the same.

Cheers,
Steve

When I was camped at Opalton about 100 kms. south of Winton , a ginger cat turned up in our camp . As there was only 2 or 3 camps it did not belong to any body . Nobody else had been that way to dump a cat . It had some burrs stuck in it's coat that I managed to cut out . We gave it a feed and it left after a few days . I am still mystified where it came from .

I hope you find her Steve.

 

[madtuna]

Not my dog Jaros, unfortunately I found it...it should not have been here.

Has it got a chip ? Tourist dog ?

 

[Jaros]

Lucky it didn't pick up a bait.

Most likely a prospectors dog. Indigenous dogs usually don't have a collar and locals aren't stupid enough to bring their dogs.
As for a chip? Would need a trip to a vet 400klms a way to find out.

The out come was the same, unfortunately you can't see a collar from 200 metres away.

Don't regret finding it , what goes around comes around . You will get a lot of pleasure if you find the owner . Dogs are part of the family .

Sadly Mike768 I think you will find this one, in the words of Monty Python is defunct.

Indeed it is defunct. It is the late Dog, it has ceased to be, it is bereft of life, it rests in peace, and it is an ex-Dog.........................

Can 'normal' people buy a chip scanner??
(like opposed to a vet?)

Oh.. it seems they are available...

It 'as more than a chip. In fact it 'as more lead in it than all the solder on the P.C board...................

P.S. Don't feel bad MT. I caught a neighbors dog in a trap I made once. I released it, and it was lucky to scamper home with a note attached to it's collar telling them to keep their mutt on their own property. If I had have had a gun I would have drilled it instead.

C'mon fellas let it go. It's done . In the same situation on an outback property they are pests--it's that simple. We as workers there would have done the same.

It's a real bugger that it had to happen MT & a pity people can't follow a few simple rules that would've prevented it for you + them.
Hopefully if you do track the owner down they take that on board.

 

[madtuna]

Thanks Matt. That's the 2nd time I've accidentally shot some ones pet.

I've had to put a few down but thank god this doesn't happen often. Chances are it was lost and had just been living in the bush and it's owner may be long gone. Still it shouldn't have been here.

I'd still like to locate the owner, they may wish to bury it or keep its collar..I don't know.

Connect the electric fence to the coil of a GM1000 and wave over it if the dog explodes it was chipped. ]

Reminds of my mate. Family dog died. A lovely dog called 'Lady' they decided to preserve 'Lady' for a more convenient time. So in the freezer with her so she could be buried in a lovely place (another island)
His young son questioned what had occurred and said "are we going to eat her".
