Dingo: Wild Dog at War (ATOM Study Guide)

The dingo, Australia's native dog, is a lightning rod for public opinion: hated, feared, respected and loved. To some, they're evil – stealing babies and destroying livestock. To others, they're a persecuted animal, key to the health of our ecosystem and part of the solution to the invasion of exotic species. Farmer and dog trainer Dave Graham sets out to uncover the truth – and confront his own fears – about dingoes. Dave has spent a lifetime trying to protect his sheep from dingoes, but as a dog behaviourist he respects these wild canines. He's on a quest to find a way for man and dingo to coexist as the survival of purebred dingoes and native fauna hangs in the balance.
