Sometime towards the end of February, early March
2017, we were camped west of Teutonic Bore doing
what we love, a bit of prospecting. The weather had
been extremely hot, 40 degrees plus at times, but we
were getting the odd piece so we persevered through
the heat in the hope of finding the big one. Due to the
excessive heat I decided to spend the nights sleeping in
a swag. It was on one of those nights that I felt
something nudging me in the shoulder and waking me
from a deep sleep. As you can imagine I woke with a
hell of a fright, I might have even made some girly
noises, as I couldn’t for the life of me work out what it
could be. I grabbed the torch to see what had woken
me and there was this black dog. My first thought was
that it was a wild dog, so I yelled at it and I watched as
this dog casually walked around camp sniffing here and
there and finally coming back next to the swag, curled
up and went to sleep, I promptly did the same. In the
morning I woke to a friendly black and tan kelpie, who
at one stage in life would have been a very fine, proud
looking dog. However this poor guy was in desperate
need of a drink and some food, which we supplied.
The water was very welcome but the left over roast
pork was just the best.

On inspection we found the dog to have a crook front leg, a crook back leg, a lump
missing out of one ear, not the best of hearing or eyesight, he was in such a bad
shape that he couldn’t even bark, so we decided to call him LUCKY, as I believe one
more day in that heat would have seen the end of him. So here we are in the middle
of the bush with no idea what direction he came from. We packed him into the ute
and off we went to see if we could find fresh tracks, camps, or any other signs of life
to get Lucky back to his owner. Unfortunately we had no luck in finding anyone who
knew anything about Lucky. We posted on The Leonora Grapevine “a lost black and
tan Kelpie”, searched through all missing black and tan kelpies but to no avail. Next,
down to the vet to see if he had been micro chipped and a quick check over, still no
luck.
So here we are, two years on and we still have Lucky, who both Sue and I have
grown very fond of, although he can drive us crazy when he feels like it. He appears
to suffer from severe separation anxiety especially when I go away. We do know
whoever owned him before must have loved him as we found he has a plate or pin
in his back leg. Sue found out when he decided to lay down in front of her while
detecting so she detected over him and sure enough she thought there was gold
under him but would he get up - no way. Eventually dragging him off the signal she
found it was Lucky himself who was making the signal. As much as we love him and
will look after him, someone out there owns Lucky and must miss him. We would be
sad to see him go but happy he is with his rightful owner.
