But dogs of a life time? I after hunted with a male who claimed he had the very best doggy ever. We enable the canine out and it took off flushing pheasants in excess of the hill.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Bobbi Miller has dedicated her life to animals for as long as she can remember.

“I’d be dragging home anything from snakes to injured birds,” she said.

Her work culminated with the creation of her non-profit animal rescue organization, “CHESED”, in 2004.

I’ve always preferred animals to people. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like, whereas there are plenty of humans I could do without. As a young girl growing up in rural Queensland, I had my own Lassie dog – Sam – stolen from me, when I was six. My siblings were older, and Sam was my best friend.

I felt like I’d failed him, which is why I dedicate my life to tracking down other pets.

During Covid in Australia we saw a massive increase in pet thefts. Obviously with increased demand comes the problem of supply. People who’d lost work saw an opportunity
