Kirislin Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I wish people wouldn't let their dogs roam, especially in a country area with wild life. Yesterday I saw a black and tan kelpie, bold as brass cruising in my paddock. I yelled at it to P!SS OFF and it took off across the paddock and disappeared behind some trees. Seconds later I see "my" 4 juvenile 'roos bolting for their lives in a panic straight out onto the road to get away from the dog. Years ago I'd get up to 15-18 roos here but they stopped after the neighbours dogs chased them. I hardly ever see them here now, people dont realise how frightened they are of dogs and it can make them move away completely. I'm thinking now it's unlikely I'll see 'roos here again for years and they'd only just been starting to come back. I dont even know who owns the dog, I went looking for it yesterday but couldn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It is always disheartening to see loose dogs. You can only hope that the kelpie was a once-off escapee and is now firmly yarded again. Although too many people don't bother to contain their dogs in rurual areas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
