Just reminded me of Dog from the Footrot Flats comic strips, which I loved as a kid when we lived in Queensland for a bit but doesn't hold up very well in these more enlightened times.

Also of a guy called Max we knew who drove a big ute, had a cattle dog and lived in a ramshackle house up on a little clifftop overlooking a national park the road to which was impassable without a truck winch if it had rained recently. he was basically rural Australia distilled down into one person.
After a few years of regular dog-sitting it looks like we'll be getting our own pup once all this madness is over... OH is super keen on a big dog, I've told her to fuck off... Small, hypoallergenic doggo it is, we've only got a small house... Italian Greyhound or a Pinscher, I think I'd prefer a Pinscher...
