moral of the story i guess would be to have a harnes on your dog when travelling..
im just glad it all worked out for him ..

Gee those Staffies are tough dogs! This one was 10 years old and survived 2 jumps from vehicles and was still trying to follow his owner! Wow! Hope hes in a nice safe harness from now on.

While on dog stories, this happened last year way out in dingo land WA. Peter was detecting away as you do, and a little dog ran up to him, thinking that some one was around he yelled out "your dog is here" after a hour he had worked his way back to the tojo, the little guy ate his sandwitch and drank a lot of water.. He called on every channel on the uhf. Zip.. Looks like you got a new owner mate .. He then drove back along a dust track for a few ks. At a crossroad he met a caravan going along the path. stopping he walked over to the the van to say hi ect. The lady was quite up set and explained they had lost their little "buddy" some 3 days ago and had spent all that time looking for him. But was sure the dingos had killed him or he had picked up a bait.. Peter pointed to his tojo and said dose he look like that.. this is a true story. After many tears and hugs they went on their way back to Perth with a very lucky "Buddy" A few minites each way.???
