What a lucky bitch!

There's an article in this week's issue of "The Orcadian" (our local bumwiper), which I thought might interest. This is one VERY, VERY lucky bitch........

Delight as Westray dog recovered after a week underground


A Westray dog was found safe and well on Saturday, after being buried alive for nearly a week.

The seven-year-old Border Collie, Barry, belonging to Sinclair Foulis of Jericho, went missing on Sunday of last week. Daily searches by the family were fruitless.

But on Saturday, 'bag the brucker', Graham Maben, heard whining while working on the beach at Grobust. He began to dig and discovered the animal buried in a collapsed rabbit-hole.

Speaking after the reunion on Saturday, Jock Foulis, Sinclair's father, said: "We are thrilled that the dog was found safe and well. We thought she must have been dead after all that time."


(Perhaps I should explain "bag the brucker" - "bruck" is an Orkney word for the rubbish that gets washed up/left on beaches. "Bagging the Bruck" is an annual organised activity when groups of volunteers go out to pick it up and bag it for disposal.)

Anyway, I think you'll agree that's one little dog with a guardian angel somewhere!

Been offline for a couple of days (remarkably busy, unusually!) so I didn't see the other post. I might go for the homebrew now, though!
