More Great Working Dog Stories - A National Tribute to Australian Working Dogs by Those Who Work with Them
Author(s): Angela Goode; Jennifer Barnett (Illustrator)
Second volume of over 150 stories about bush dogs from an ABC Radio contest in honour of their role. Includes a glossary and a bibliography. The editor is a farmer and rural journalist. It is a sequel to Great Working Dog Stories
This keenly awaited second volume follows ABC Book's bestselling Great Working Dog Stories. Over 150 stories were selected from almost 2000 entries received by ABC Radio's nation-wide competition held in honour of working dogs.
Extraordinary tales of ingenuity, stamina, intelligence, heroism, mischief and lust are told in natural, honest, simple English providing further testament to the remarkable abilities and pivotal role of working dogs in rural Australia.
These stories are about people too. The lives of hundreds of jackeroos, bullockies, stationowners, drovers, women and children are here - and from their stories flow the laughter and pain that's such a part of bush life. Their dogs are often their only companions and workmates - ready always with a wag and a grin when things are tough.
