On January 12th, a few mates went fishing on the Peter Faust dam when they heard splashing in the water. But there was no need to reel in the rods or prepare nets for a catch, as a dog climbed on board the little tinny.
The old boy had become separated from his owner and lost, but being the smart, working dog that he is, he went to the first people he could find. Even if those people were in the middle of a dam, he swam his way over, seeking help.
He was a bit worse for wear, but thanks to the people in the boat, he found his way home just two days later. They posted about him and his swim to Facebook, and the farmer who owned him saw and responded. It turns out the old boy had gotten separated while out mustering with his owner and had been missing for a couple of days.
Who knew a regular fishing trip with the mates could turn into a dog rescue mission?
Remember to keep an eye on your dogs if they’re off leash. Thanks to the folks in the boat who took him in and kept him safe until the owner could be found.
