Hope's Road (2013)
“It’d been a busy week trying to juggle everything. This morning he’d been up before daylight and he’d hoped to be home by now, but unfortunately duty called. Grayden ran a sheep property above Lake Grace and he’d lost six pure-bred ewes to a dog over the past week. He wasn’t a happy man.
The dog they were tracking was grabbing the sheep on the left shoulder, going for the throat, barrelling the animal down, and then eating the fat off the brisket, leaving the maimed sheep to die a horrible ...death.
A dog usually didn’t live too far from what they were attacking, and Trav should have been able to track it reasonably easily. But this one was doing his head in. Just when he thought he had the bastard all worked out, it would evade him and Trav was back to square one. However, as he swung the ute towards home, he had to admit to himself this was why he loved being a dog trapper. Here it wasn’t about maintaining a fence, it was about pitting his skills against an animal’s.MoreLess
